This Photo Of My Daughter & Her 3-Yr-Old Brother At School Made My Heart Swell.

We had a family-emergency-type situation today that required our teenager to leave school early and pick up her little brother from his school. I thought she took him home until I saw her Snapchat.

Instead of missing class she actually took her 3-year-old brother back to high school with her and let him sleep on her while she finished her last class of the day.

I’m not sure on the legalities here or what kind of rules were broken but I also just don’t care. My sweet teenager helped her family out and returned to her other responsibility while snuggling her baby brother.

I’m either the worst mom in the world or totally nailing it. Please don’t tell me which one, let me live in ignorant bliss while I stare at this picture.

Life is short. These are the moments that make it so incredibly sweet.
