Really?

Owen is looking at a hurricane lily which a butterfly is sipping from.
I showed him that today.
Treasure.
My life seems so very full of treasure right now.
And I am just here to say thanks, to give thanks, to be thankful.

This life of mine is not a dream come true. It is richness that I never dared dream of. Never knew was possible.

I just want to mark that right now, right here.
Boy, flower, butterfly. And all that goes with it.

Unbelievable.

  7. notjustafemme- That is it. Exactly.

    SJ- And sometimes, I know.

    Elizabeth- He pats my knees. He thinks they are funny. So do I.

    DTG- You know, your hair grew the same way but it curled in back so there was NO NEED TO CUT IT! And Lily is his mama. She can cut it if she wants. Sigh.

    Angie C- Thank-you, dear.

    Elisabeth- I will always miss Betty but here we are- as whole as we can be.

  11. Which is just the feeling I had as I went to cover two of my babies with blankets just now.
