Love Her

In speaking of ten month old Claire, the newest addition to Shell's child care, Ezra said, "Once I get to know her...I'm going to love her."

Boys' Weekend

In untypical fashion, Ezra, who had just slammed a pink sucker exclaimed, "THIS IS YUMMY!!!"

Sad

Loss does not discriminate between young and old. It is one thing we all share.

In light of recent events, Ethan lay on his bed, in the dark of his room, crying. I felt like crying too.

In a rare moment of transparency, he said, "Everything feels sad right now."

Not sure I could have articulated it any better.

At a loss for words, I wrapped myself around him, and he wrapped himself around me.

And together, in silence, we let the waves of grief pass over us.
