Oh this sweet family of mine.
Lord, I didn’t know it was possible to mourn the present while living in it. Our babies will never be this little again. This summer—this sacred, ordinary, magical time—is slipping through my fingers. I’m so thankful, and yet I never want it to end. It is hard, so hard but so unbelievably worth it.
