Mailslot to the World

We have a little mail slot by our front door that opens to our front closet. The kids think it's the greatest thing to get home from school and check the closet for mail. But it's also their window to the world. In the mornings they run to the mail slot and stick their little fingers through to check the weather.

Tonight Micah left for a meeting. The door and curtains were closed, so the kids couldn't see out. Cora went running to the closet, pushed the mail slot open with her little fingers, and called through, "Good bye, Daddy! I love you!"

Micah called back, "Good bye, mail slot, I'll miss you."

They were laughing for a long time.
