"You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was." another Irish saying.
I have been thinking on a lot of past "stuff" lately. I guess when the future gets scary, my mind goes to the past. A lot of it I had ruled a hot mess but I have been discovering some really good bits. Little pockets of sunshine I had forgotten. Then, I am remembering so many that my perspective starts to shift.
The beach holds happy childhood memories for me. Ones I hope to recreate with the boys this summer. Little pockets in this big life change for us. Small moments where they feel safe & at home. Then as they are growing, hopefully all the good bits knit together to form a happy human-being.
Did you know Parker, Kaleb, & Aden are all going to be baptized at Easter service this year? Matt & I have that feeling of excitement like when we first saw an ultrasound or before I walked down the aisle. Big things happenin' in these little lives, & we get to be a part of it.
How did I get to be such a lucky duck?
How exciting for your family to witness this dedication of your boys. I know your mom is excited to share in the joy with them. Remember when Armond Taylor would say "He Is Risen" and we were to repeat "He is Risen Indeed!"? Did you know he passed away early yesterday morning? You will have so many new memories made in Seattle as well.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am sorry to hear about Armond, he is most definitely one of my happy memories. What a testament of faith & love he was.
