I'm feeling reflective.
(Reflective is a funny word because what I mean is thoughtful but I'm sure I conjured up mental images of sequins and body glitter. So please refer to the former explanation and I'll start again...)
I'm experiencing a phenomenon relating to or characterized by deep thought.
Today, I was watching Joe read "Danny the Dinosaur" to Jay and I thought, "Is this what life is all about?" I think I get caught up in so many unimportant things. I've watched a lot of people close to me struggle and suffer through their life's trials and I can't help but wonder what makes their life bearable. Who makes their life worth living?
For me, I live to hear Jay tell me that he has a secret and then cup his hands around my ear and in the sweetest little voice whisper, "Dinosaur." (He really likes dinosaurs.)
I live to see what a great Dad Joe is and how his eyes light up when he plays with Jay. And to see the same light in Jay's eyes.
I hope everyone has that. Sappy, I know. But those are my thoughts tonight.

Love this! We always knew Joe would make a great Dad and it's so fun to see him with cute little Jay. And you're such a great mom too! You've got the sweetest little boy.

ReplyDeleteStacy, if this is what life is really made of, then it's amazing. I admire you for recognizing moments such as these and loving it. Especially in the midst of everything else you are going through. Sei nelle miei preghiere. LOVE YOU!
