I read this just now:
Blog I read
And it made me think of this:
There are many ways to see time/existence. Many different ways. When I look at my kiddo, I can see time all at once.
I see the Macaroni Rascal he's become and the brand-new squished face trying to nurse in the hospital.
All at the same time.
I will get glimpses of him in the future, too. Shorter flashes, but those of him as a young man.
My best friend's son was a toddler when I met her. He went to freshman homecoming last week. I at their home with the rest of my family when he put on his suit and left.
I searched his face for the little Winston Churchill I met years ago...I think I found it.
But I bet he wondered why I was staring.
Tears... This one made me misty.
ReplyDeleteIt made me misty while I wrote it!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your baby is all big now and whatnot. Still love that kid. And to see the joy he finds in MY KID...
just rip my heart out NOW...
