“When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you hang up my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn’t looking , I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you make my favorite cake for me and I knew that little things are special things. When you thought I wasn’t looking I heard you say a prayer and I believed there is a God I could always talk to. When you thought I wasn’t looking I felt you kiss me goodnight, and I felt loved. When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn’t looking I LOOKED….and I wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking.” Connie Back
