Forever Young

I looked out my window this afternoon and saw these two very tall children playing in my backyard. I felt compelled to get the camera. I cant believe my babies are 6 and 3. I remember saying things like “I can’t wait until they can crawl”, or “I can’t wait until they can walk”, or “I can’t wait to hear what their voice is going to sound like when they start talking”. Now my boy is reading and drawing these amazing pictures and Mazi Jane is constantly laughing or making us laugh with her faces that she practices in the mirror and her comments on life. Dear God, please let them stay young in their hearts. May they not grow up too fast, may their innocence never be robbed of them, may they continue to laugh lots, play hard, be silly and always love you with faith like a child. Amen!

And then there is Jackson…… never leave us, Jack. You are deeply loved……
