My Life as it Was, Is, and Will Be

There are times when an opportunity comes your way and you’re unsure. And then there are times when you don’t have to think at all. This is one of them. When approached by John to write a guest post, I immediately told him yes. Who wouldn’t with such a well written blog?

So here I am, writing from my blog: My Life as it Was, Is, and Will Be. I’m excited to be sharing a post with you. Thanks, John, for the opportunity.

Two Blondes

She was laughing as she ran. Her blonde hair streaming down her back. She was only five. And she was headed my way. The smile on her face was as bright as the closest star. She was filled with joy. She was filled with innocence.

And she was my daughter.

Her older sister was chasing her making silly noises and silly faces. Her blonde hair was caught up in a ponytail bobbling around as she ran. She was a playful eight year-old. So patient with her little sister.

They both landed in a heap in front of me. Still giggling.

I smiled so hard it made my face hurt. It was the type of smile you can’t seem to erase from your face like an old chalkboard refusing to cooperate.

I closed my eyes so I could concentrate on their laughing. Sharpening my senses like sharpening a pencil.

It was one of those moments that you don’t want to end.

Five turned to six. Six turned into seven. And now the little one is eight. Her older sister is eleven. I don’t want them to age any further. But I know I must let go.

The teasing still goes on. The innocence is still there. And they are still young enough that they don’t mind expressing love with each other and with me. It pours out of both of them like a pitcher of water.

This is family.

“The happiest moments of my life
have been the few which I have passed
at home in the bosom of my family.”
(Thomas Jefferson)
