This was 7 years ago today!! Our first moments together, all 6 of us in one place for the first time ever. It seems like a lifetime ago and like yesterday all at the same time. I love these little faces, I miss these little faces. But I wouldn't trade who these amazing little faces have grown into for anything in the world. I used to dread the days we live in now...4 teens (almost, the girls are 12 1/2) under one roof. I'm not going to sugarcoat this, we have some ROUGH days. Trust me. But overall, overwhelming over all, these are 4 of the finest human beings you will find anywhere. They are growing and changing. And I believe they will help to grow and change our world. Last night we sat in Family Meeting to talk about what happened in our country this week. We talked about being angry, sad, feeling hopeless. We talked about how every feeling is ok, but what is the truth? Who ARE we? We're here to be light in darkness. We're here to grieve what has happened in Louisiana, in St. Paul, and in Dallas. We're here to confront our feelings of anger and fear and challenge them with love, because we TRULY and DEEPLY believe that LOVE > fear. I wish you all could have been there with us last night to witness the beauty and vulnerability of my children. And I'm so glad none of you were there, it was raw and beautiful and it was for us.
So if you think of it, say a prayer of thanksgiving today for our 7th Fam-Aversary!!
