response to week 9/savor in The Solstice to Solstice project:

her littleness.
though she's tall and opinionated, creative, and full of ideas
she likes to snuggle, play with barbies, and have me hold her during singing in church or first thing in the morning emerging from her warm bed.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
yes, i'll hold you.
i'll hold on so tight. then, gently set you down because each day you grow & who you are is so wonderful. every day adding to that wonder.

i will be your safe harbor, savoring every minute, until you are ready to throw off your bowlines.

  2. this brought tears to my eyes. it made me think of Emrie & how she'll always be so little to me. i can't even fathom the thought of letting go.
