Sometimes it’s hard to locate the beginning of something. Especially when you get to meet people you’ve come to “know” through someone else’s stories for a while. You sort of skip the beginning and go straight to the knowing part because you’ve heard bits and pieces of their history.
A million wonderful things to say in my head, here’s a few.
I wish for everyone someone that lights up and talks about them to other people like this couple does. I know lots of people that really love each other - no doubt. But what I think is exceptional and completely melts my heart is this: I know this amazing mom is aware how much her husband loves her - but you now what? So is EVERYONE else. And you should see her face when she talks about him too. I wish for everyone to have someone in their corner that the whole world can see their devotion, that’s powerful.
That kind of love is raising two precious, precious children. They already have an amazing legacy, but so much is put right in it’s place in home that loves like that.
She is curious and insightful and so “old soul”.
He is delighted and delightful, engaging to everyone around him.
They like every single flavor of popsicle.
I love with my whole heart parents who worry about things like a bite of Popsicle that is too big. Because I do too. But in the very next breath could care less if the Popsicle maybe went past the five second rule after hitting the ground and getting finished. Because I don’t either, lol.
I think the essence of why I love that is because it shows what’s important to them. It’s about keeping them safe, but free at the same time. Let’s focus on the important stuff, and let the other stuff slide.
This family was endeared to me already, but getting to play with these two little ones, icing on the cake. I don’t know even know where to begin!
