Gifts

Because as we walk around her yard in the late afternoon,

and the sun is going down...

I am quiet.

As I hang on to her every word...

listen...

watch...

bask in these moments...

I see her gifts.

REALLY see them!

Her love of creating, animals, growing, learning,

her love of family & home.

And I realize that she has passed those gifts to me....

and I see how we're not so different.

And I feel a tug at my heart.

And I am aware that being there with her, gives me the feeling of comfort,

home and love, all wrapped up together.

XOXO
