Walk amongst the rocks...

One of my favorite things to do when we're in Maine is to walk amongst the rocks...soaking in the various shapes, sizes and patterns. When I stumbled upon this little fella staring at me I called over to Liam to take a look. He smiled the biggest smile and said 'That's cool'. We kept exploring until the bugs got the better of us. That could have been all we did that day -- my heart was happy.

It's impacting all of us in different ways.
This little fella is typically alongside Sara or I throughout the day...
...questioning where we're going (if we're leaving the room) and when we'll be back.
Often he'll accompany us as opposed to being left alone.
I reassure him daily that we'll never leave him in a bad situation -- that I'll never let anything happen to him.
I guess I can't really guarantee that...and perhaps I'm taking his here-and-now focus more and more to heart.
There's no right way to be....other than kind.
To be there for each other, however we're needed.
No harm can come in that.
I'm hopeful we can extend that to each other.
