All Feeling Better
12 years ago
In the right light,
things glisten, glow, sparkle—
appear extraordinary.
Light is simple, basic, necessary. Light is comfort; it is a guide;
it is a metaphor for happiness,
for knowledge, and for clarity.
It is a symbol of enlightenment
and of promise.
I like how you described the changes to Alina's laugh from the time she has been home in the love of your family. You not only told us how she looks with love, but also how she sounds given a second chance!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour children are very special.
I think it's just about the greatest thing that Alina and Bridget are so close in age and will grow up together in such a wonderful family! I can't wait for Nadia to "catch up" with Josi so they can enjoy the same things, hobbies, activities, etc. That will be fun too!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! It's amazing to hear about how much Alina is changing as she gets used to being loved, just for being her. :) There's nothing like the laughter of children. Such a blessing!
ReplyDeleteBrian I had to come back and repost my comment because I don't think it went through last night when I thought I had submitted it. I LOVE how you describe how Alina's laugh has changed to one of feeling and joy, that is very perceptive of you! Her laugh is that way because of you...and your family! What a beautiful gift you all are to each other!
