Sitting in church today, I had this amazing feeling overcome me. A feeling I had never experienced in my life to date. I am so grateful I have the chance to have these two girls with Joseph and to feel things that I've never felt before. Yes, my body is spent. Yes, when they both start crying at the same time, my patience is pushed to the limit and then beyond. Yes, I wonder how I am really going to be enough. Yes, I am still dependent on outside help to accomplish menial household tasks. But, I have these amazing and big feelings. I cannot really explain them much more than that. I feel what I am doing is much more than me, and much more than I can understand--to love another human being and to devote my life to their welfare and care--I guess I am really learning how to love...or maybe I am just learning another way to love.
So this post is to love. All kinds. To the loves we have had, to the loves we have, and to the ones we still dream of.
To love.
