I was going to just toss this up on Facebook like I regularly do with new photos, but this one felt like it deserved a blog post all of its own. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes that is such a relief. Because there are no adequate words to describe the hold this kid has taken on my heart, what he has already taught me about life, and how serenely wise, gentle and beautiful he is. Sometimes I look at him and can't believe I get to keep him.
