close


there is this really cool thing about being a parent
something no one ever told me
something I wasn't prepared for

whenever your child does something
one of those "IT" things

something that makes you swell up with pride for them
something that brings on a good belly laugh
something that brings a tear to your eye

immediately it makes you wish
you were there,
with the person that you
created this child with
so you could experience it together

my children are my magnet to my spouse
they make me want to be closer to him

and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt
that no one ever
would enjoy
that smile, that giggle, whatever "IT" is...
more than him

So PERFECTLY put!
You are so GREAT at expessing these things that I think and feel but don't put into words.

Thank you!

You should consider working for Hallmark! That was so beautifully put...in a way that is so hard for most to express in words!!

Love it!
