Day 1 ~ Presence
Been missing my papa lately. Not a surprise really. This time of year in particular, the absence of his warmth and laughter still leaves a void. As our families gathered over the Thanksgiving holiday, I was reminded time and time again of how grateful I am that my children have their papa present in their lives. It's no small thing, presence. More of a feeling than something I can wrap words around, but when I see them cuddled on the couch, or looking for a corner piece, laughing at ridiculous videos, or talking cars....
I have such a tender space in my heart for my papa, built brick by brick from his presence in my life. I am so grateful that Matt's presence is laying a similar foundation, brick by brick, in my children's hearts.
