the long and winding road.

his first day. oh how i loved him so desperately. i never knew anything so perfect and wonderful and amazing. it was true love.
teddy is two today.
what a sweet sweet spirit he is.

i really needed my family, and felt so grateful that matt and amy drove out to meet my son. i meant everything to me that my family met him, so they could love him too and help me carry the burden.

year one!! (and squash stuffed baked apples in place of cupcakes.) that went by fast. so did this year. children help accelerate the pace at which life goes zooming by.......they grow and grow......

with daddy on his first birthday.

today squirting the fire hose. teddy loves all "big wheels keep on turning.." he was so nervous.....i guess it could be likened to someone meeting some sort of artist or musician they admire (like carl meeting tim kasher...) just awe and clumsiness. the fire department was very obliging.

teddy has been on this earth for two years.

i am very grateful to be able to share his life with him,

i am blessed to know him,

and i feel very humbled to be able to try to teach teddy about what i think is important,

but mostly i just give him love.


teddy you bless this world.

tonight it is my prayer that we all near the incomprehensible goodness and power that is our potential, and love with our fullest capacities.

probably more to come considering the birthday will stretch into a birthmonth into a birthyear into etc etc etc....
