Today, we're celebrating love. It's in the little things. But oh, I do love these boys. Goofy, sweet, hopeful and they make me laugh. To love you must nurture one another, so you can grow through tough times. We've kept our dreams afloat and seen such courage from Noodles and compassion from Nate. I am grateful for this new perspective. It's taught me about what's important in life and how to breathe in every single moment- especially the hard ones.
Last weekend we made valentine cards together for Didi and Nanny. While it was hard to keep LJ's hand from fisting once I put the paint on his palm, I think we had a partial hand-print success (his is the pink one, Nate's is the red one- they both have big hands). What a beautiful moment that made me happy and full of love.
Josh, I love you more than artichoke hearts. I love you more than pedicures. I love you more than coconut cake. I love you more than dance parties. And I even love you more than our down comforter! One of these days I am going to pry our camera away from our sons and take a snapshot of you for posterity:) It'll be a picture of the man that is mine, and not that of a father who is best known for tickler, snow shoveler, bbquer, fixer, story-reader and human-slide.
Happy Valentine's Day! May your hearts be FILLED with love today.

There is a new CP website www.CerebralPalsySocial.org and I suspect you will probably want to know about it. It’s for people who cope with cerebral palsy directly or indirectly, on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteSo what can I say about it. It pays to have a look because you’ll see we’ve taken our first steps and now want to increase membership to make it more useful for all who use it.
