A couple months back my brother-in-law, John, began his own blog to reflect upon his own family, his profession, and his passion for cycling.
While I will admit to skimming over his bike jargon, it's the connections he makes with his family that really speak to me. Referring to a recent cyclocross race with Will, John found the words that I think I have been searching for. See John-I told you I would use them! This captures what it means to remember the "moments."
"I look over and he looks back with a grin I am trying to emblazon into my white matter forever." (JMM)
There are so many faces I want to emblazon into my white matter forever, but of late, these are a few that melt my heart.
It's hard sometimes to write meaningful words without sounding like I'm narrating an episode of Grey's Anatomy. I hope that at the end of this, I will still have emblazoned onto my heart as well the intense love I have for my family. It's the kind of love that spills over like teardrops when you just can't believe how lucky you are.
Amy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quote. Vinny looks glorious. Having a family and kids is a great ride, indeed. It's obvious that you and Ant are enjoying it. Cool.
Your blog background rocks. Keep posting-its nice.
