This morning, without thinking, I took my son’s hand, gently placing a kiss into his palm, as I do with you. I thought upon what it might mean. It is a promise– to love, always, to love completely. I am given.

        I thought about my son and when I first held his hand…I think I was taken at that moment and have been ever since. (He is now a man of almost 24 and I have never felt any different about him since I first laid eyes on him)
        I wish you many more blessings shared with him to come. They teach you how to give and receive unconditional love…for me in a way I had never known, and doubt I shall again.
        Blessings to you all โค

          Thank you, and thank you for sharing, Crystal. Yes, my son has changed me in more ways than I have changed him. I’d be a lesser man had he not come into my life. Blessings to you and your family as well ๐Ÿ™‚

      Thank you, Vic ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m not sure all my posts are showing in the reader. Still figuring it all out, or maybe this is the new normal. I’m glad you found me. I hope your day is beautiful ๐Ÿ™‚

        I think posts from self hosted sites take a bit longer to show up.
        I traveled home today from seeing my sister’s new baby so it was a bittersweet day. ? I hope your day was good.

          It’s making me crazy, but like being able to make a mess of things on my own, and I am. New baby.. that’s beautiful. I’d call that a good day ๐Ÿ™‚

            Yes. It was a fun visit. I have boys so it’s nice to visit her girls.

            Well, your site looks beautiful at least. ?
