Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!
I love you too much!
Getting to spend my days with you
is like finding tiny treasures along the shore.
Each little moment is something rare and beautiful.
I tuck them into my heart forever.
My heart is full and plump.
Bulging with pure love.
All the wrongs, made right.
All the shame, washed away.
With you, I have peace.
Soaring, tranquil peace.
Light as a feather
With you, I have grace.
Simple, elegant grace.
Fluid as a dancer
With you, I have joy.
Unabashed, blissful joy.
Bright as a flower
It is having everything I could ever want
all wrapped up in a single little smile.
It is when needs and wants are simple things now
like sitting next to you and watching you play your games
or talking with you about your favorite Star Wars character.
It is laying next to you as you drift off to sleep.
It is simply knowing you
listening to you
watching you
being with you.
With you, I have heaven in my heart.
I love you too much!
So many days I am sad because you never met my dad. Your grandpa.
But then I am sweetly reminded that you have.
He is with you.
He is a part of you.
There is a little Grandpa in there.
You have his silliness.
His quiet sense of humor that gets ya every time.
You have his gentleness.
His calm way of making each moment last forever. Like a deep, slooow breath.
You have his heart.
His ability to see others with compassion. To feel their joy and their pain.
There are little things that remind me of him.
Like your feet. With their beautiful arch.
Or an expression.
Little things that make me smile.
Little things that make my eyes water.
And for a moment I feel the warmth of his presence…
because there is a little Grandpa in there.
He was a great man.
It is comforting to know and feel that wonderfulness lives on.
Happy Birthday Grandpa.
It rained like we have never seen rain before.
And then it rained some more.
But we survived the 1,000-year storm.
(That is a waterfall coming off the sidewalk.)
This could have easily been our street.
We are SO lucky our house was fine.
Moments happen
Flashing throughout life
Pay attention to the flashes
For it is there you find true beauty
The flash
The moment
will then be gone forever
There are so many boys in this world and each special in his own way, but this one.
This one has hijacked my life.
I try not be so emotional. I try to keep my cool and remember all parents have kids they love.
But he overwhelms me.
He overwhelms my heart. He overwhelms my mind.
And before I know it, I’m a big pile of mushy, smushy love.
Your freedom and endless joy is my breath.
In and out.
In and out.
Filling me and cleansing me.
Your adventure and curiosity is my youth.
Look and question.
Explore and discover.
Try and try again.
Keeping me fresh and new everyday.
In the turret on Battleship North Carolina
Your frivolous play is my calm.
Laugh and smile.
Goof off with no purpose.
Returning me to my peace and free-spirit.
The little things that some may take for granted are huge to me.
Losing your first tooth was a real moment.
Losing more is even more exciting!
Just seeing you doing your own thing
can stop me in my tracks and can bring me to tears.
Yesterday while walking together through the mall to the arcade, you put your arm around me.
We walked this way the whole time.
I do not have a photo of this moment, but the memory is secure. The feeling will not be lost.
Because you are my whole world.
You have expanded it in so many directions
and deepened it in such rich ways.
Every day is the best day ever.
I am grateful.
I am humbled.
I am blessed.
I love you too much!
