I could stop crying. But I know there will be a new bucket of tears awaiting. What a beautiful 4th birthday card, Charlie. "That's just how babies talk." "Can you tuck me in?" "You're nice, Mama." Such intelligent observation in words just waiting to find his own way into the world.

Ahh, I love entries like this from fellow writer-parents. Well done and thank you. My hope is at some point our children read these, before they have children of their own, should they so choose. And if we’re lucky, maybe our words help them to let in the grace we struggled to find for ourselves.
