Empathy

A couple of weeks back, the kids and I were at Target shopping for clothes for Steven and ran into Mo (she's the little sister of the girl whose funeral we attended yesterday).  She was holding a purple hippo Pillow Pet.  She said her mom wouldn't buy her one so she thought she might buy it herself.  I don't think she ended up with it that night, but I can't be sure.  Last night, I took Emma and Steven to Kohls to find Steven some clothes to wear for Homecoming and somehow Emma found the mini Pillow Pets.  There happened to be a mini hippo.  Emma said, "We should get this for Mo.  Maybe it will help her not be so sad about her sister."

How could I not?
