it sneaks up on me

when i least expect it. it sneaks up on me.

when i watch him reading to harper, my eyes fill up with tears.

when i was at the grocery store with the cart loaded up with bags,

and realized i had help when i got home.

at night when i get  in bed and look over at his beautiful face,

when he walks up behind me and puts his hand on the small of my back.

when i have the privilege of waking with him beside me. safe.

when he tells me he's proud of me.

when he tells me i'm beautiful.

when he talks harper through one of her fits.

when he holds sadie as she's crying.

when i look at him over dinner and realize

he's here. 

he made it home.

he's safe....

it hits me.

a tidal wave of love and gratitude.

thank you Lord.

how could i ask for more.

have a beautiful weekend my sweet friends.

xoxo
