Sunday was a beautiful day. The weather was hot and muggy. But then - in the middle of the day - a sudden rainstorm. The raindrops and puddles seemed to call out to my kids to come and splash.
And so they did.
Out they went - donning their Sunday clothes - running through the streets and puddles while the rain fell on their faces. They danced, they sang and they held hands, spinning around in circles. It. Was. Magical.
On days such as these, I am reminded of all the Joy there still is to experience in Life. Yes, we have experienced loss and Yes, the longing for our sweet Bennett will never go away. But I have three precious children here with me. Three children to laugh with, play with, cuddle, caress and sing lullabies to. What a Gift that is.
And somehow, on days such as this, it is almost like I can see a little toe head boy giggling and galloping behind his siblings.
I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised.
Mandy I thank you for such posts. I hope you and your family are doing well. Hope to see you and Dave again soon
