FATHER OF MY CHILDREN
today is father's day. it's not MY day, but in a way it is. today i can't help but think about how lucky i am -- we all are -- that i chose this man -- that guy over there--->>> to be my life's partner and the father of my children. those children lost, found, and born of us. i am so grateful for all (well, most) of the ways he has grown into a man. i see the limitless love he has for these boys every day. i see his compassion and desire to fight for those less fortunate in our children. i see his eyes in their eyes. i see his nose when i look at jackson. i see so many things he's given them: music, love of knowledge, that crazy sense of humor, stubbornness. oh, he's given them some pretty damned irritating things, too. but i will not complain today -- at least not here, not to you -- about any of it.
i love you, will.
they'll be furious if i don't mention that there's probably 100 pounds less of them (cumulatively) since that picture was taken).

Having to look at all that male testerone every day is not doing me any good *lol*. Now howabout a photo of your garden - that is calm and relaxing for me. Hope you are well Sweetie.
