“There is a road from the eye to heart
that does not go through the intellect.”
G. K. Chesterton
A true friend can see the part
inside of you others can’t.
The best part of that internal vision?
They appreciate the intimate glimpse into your heart,
and will cherish and cultivate the treasures
and bind and heal the brokenness.
The longer you are married,
the more you are the mirrored reflection of the other person.
Your hearts, minds and souls combine in a beautiful unity
of companionship, purpose and love.
Make sure you marry someone
you want to end up
looking like,
talking like,
acting like,
and thinking like.
Right now Beka is convinced she will live with us forever.
Being our daughter is the most important role
in her life right now.
She can’t imagine being anything else.
She doesn’t understand yet,
that we’ll always be her parents,
even though other significant relationships will enter her heart.
We’ll just move into her peripheral vision.
I know he will grow up, go to college, get a job,
maybe have his own family,
even though he swears he will NEVER marry.
But, as he ventures out in the
ocean of uncertaintly and adventure,
we will always be on the shore,
a small, bright beacon of light,
beckoning slowly and steadily,
in case he needs a course correction.
No matter where they go,
what they do,
who they are with,
I will always have my eye on them….
through the lens of my camera.
Thank you for re-posting Mrs. Peltier. I really needed that. I came to your blog today, and thought "I need a mommamindy meditation" (honestly, sometimes I skip them. But today, I wanted and needed to read one) Although you didn't state it explicitly in the title, this was similar and spoke to a personal struggle. So thank you. <3 MelissaP.S. I like being part of your family! 😀
