Every Friday we unite for five minutes to write on one word. Only five minutes, that's all we get, that's all we have. And then, right where we are, no edits or second-thoughts, we publish those words. This week, we write on adore.
Go.
You and the life you have allowed me to live.
You and the second chance you gave me.
You and the little you fill this home with.
You and your love, your patience, your forgiveness.
You and your gentle side.
You and your sibling love.
You and your childhood laughter.
You and your little words.
You and your hugs that fill me full.
You and the fact that you showed me that love fixes the broken.
You and your thoughts, your words, your expressions.
You and your ability to make me smile.
You and the fact that we touch toes at night.
You and how you hold my hand.
You and your hold.
You and your faith in me, in family, in team.
You and how childhood comes to life this time of year.
You and how much you believe in all things magic.
You and how much you believe in me.
You and your curls that prove you came from me too.
You and your smile that proves you came from me too.
This time,
this incredibly fleeting time.
These small moments in all of life that we are allowed to spend with you.
I don't always like the life we created,
but I always adore it.
Stop.
Such a sweet love letter to your family. You should print it out. 🙂 It's great.
Thank you Ashley!
