Today I took my 2 year old, Ellee, outside to get some fresh air. As we were sitting in the grass I was noticing so much all around me. The little blades of grass were so beautiful. The clouds moving slowly, the wind blowing on my face, the little stink bug crawling by. I saw life all around me. Now that Tesslee is gone, I am very aware of how fragile life is, and what a miracle it is.
My 4 year old brought me a Roly Poly potato bug on his finger and I saw its legs kicking around and could not help but think about the little life it is living. How long will it be alive? Is it enjoying its little life? Does it have a soul? Is it aware of the miracle it is? I reminded Cade to be careful with it and let it live. Ellee came up and rested her hand on my shoulder. I thought about her little hand and all the joy she and each of my kids brings to me. This life is such a gift. Everywhere I turn there is life, living and breathing. It is a beautiful miracle. I am so blessed to be surrounded with this beauty.
Beautiful blogging Sar. Thank you for sharing heart and soul.
ReplyDeleteMy baby's due date was July 27th. It's been so hard. I love you Sara, and I wish I was as strong as you are.
