Remember the baby sleeping on his dad’s officer’s hat?
He is already ONE…his brother is three, and I got word in December that their dad would be leaving in January for a year. My heart stood still.
Mom wrote back:
“I know… my heart stood still not so much when he told me (he was going), but later, when I had time to think of how much he will miss with the boys.”
What happens in a year? Far more than I would like to think. Mom asked me to create a photograph so they could remember and record their family life right NOW. I want them to told hold onto these precious minutes together. And so, I hope I froze time for you. And boys, PLEASEEEEEEE don’t grow up too fast.
A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FOR TO ALL OF OUR MILITARY FAMILIES FOR ALL YOU DO AND OF COURSE FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY SAFE.
If you have a baby of your own, you know that smell… the most delicious smell in the world. My husband and I always say, if we could bottle it, we’d be ba-zillionaires.
Speaking of letters… (I posted a little something on Facebook today)… One of my dearest, oldest and closest friends surprised me in my hospital room after a traumatic, scary delivery of our first daughter. She wrote this letter 8 years ago… and I cried again yesterday just as hard if not harder when I read it again. This time though, I was able to read it with my daughter.
I want her to know what living honestly and being genuine is all about- (KEEP IT REAL!) and I want her to know the value of friendship… and that a true friend is an amazing find. I want to share this amazing letter (tissues handy- consider yourself warned
)…Written by someone who has known and been friends with me since the summer of 1990, right after I graduated high school and moved to Richmond. She might kill me for posting this… but I want to share both the letter of friendship, but also the first thoughts on the miracle of giving birth.
