A Dream

While snuggling with Amelia as she went to bed, we had the following three sentence conversation....


Amelia: Daddy, when I grow up, I want to change the world

Me: When God makes someone with a brain as sharp and a heart as big as he gave you, he means for you to.

Amelia: Yeah, I just don't know where I should give my speech.

... and with this thought that changing the world means giving speeches, Amelia summed up the brilliant innocence of the mind of a child.  She also reminded me that my job as a parent isn't to teach her what to dream, it is simply to afford her a life with enough comfort to dream big and enough confidence to achieve bigger.
