What I Wanted Them To Hear
I wanted them to hear all the things I never heard growing up.
"You're beautiful."
"You're special."
"You are so smart."
"You can do anything you put your mind to!"
"You are so funny! You make me laugh!"
"You are so creative! How did you come up with that idea? That's awesome!"
"Mommy is so proud of you!"
"God loves you and so do we!"
"I am so glad you're my baby!"
"You're going to do something great in life!"
What did they hear?
Pictures are healing to me....writing is healing. So, I'm sharing a few more pictures from days gone by, along with the thoughts that are whirling around in my mind.
This one is Josh at 9 months old. He had such cute chubby little cheeks, and such dark, expressive eyes. Those eyes are just as expressive today, but so often what they express is anger.

Oh for just one hour to go back into the past and hold them on my lap one more time.....
