a language all their own


one of my favorite things to do in this world is to watch my husband & son 'communicate'.

jett grins the biggest and brightest when he 'speaks' with his dad. his face lights up; his arms wave in excitement. i can only imagine what he tells his dad during their time together- his thoughts, his dreams, maybe even his fears. you can see the adoration they have for each other written all over their faces.

and to hear the love in their voices . . .
i've never heard anything like it. it's like they have a language all their own.


i love it . . .
and i don't want any part of it. (except to watch quietly from a distance from time to time.)

it's theirs.

all theirs.

and only theirs.

two 'men' looking each other in the eye & seeing nothing but the other man's soul. their love for the other runs deeper than the greatest river. i used to think there was nothing like a bond between a dad & his daughter. now i know the love between this father & son must come close.

I really enjoy reading your blog because it gives me insight as to how it will be for Amanda when Olivia arrives in a few more weeks. It keeps me aware of the things I can do to "pick up the slack".

By the way, we need to do dinner again soon! :-)
