“You’re living in the past, Susan.”
“No, I’m appreciating where I am and where I’ve been, so I can move on to where I’m going.”
Sometimes, the present is confusing and even painful. When we look back, we can see where we’ve been and how it worked or didn’t. Hindsight…
At "2", Chip could crawl around with his Grandpa and hide under Parker's crib!
When he was younger, Parker's Nana could scoop him up and carry him around!
Now that Parker is 19, Nana can only stand beside Parker...but the important thing is--She Stands With Him!
Taller than their father, our boys have lived a lot of life since they were crawling under cribs and resting in loved ones' arms.
Sometimes, it brings about so much emotion–looking back–I could cry. I am proud and amazed at how far they have come in these years. And as I look at them and their progress, I am reminded of my own journey. It has been a long one. Never have I felt alone. When I look with gratitude at all my life has meant, I must say Thank You. I can’t speak it to the nothingness in the air…no, I speak it to God. His love for me is beyond what I can put into words, yet I feel it in my heart, as I feel my unconditional love for my own children.
