Corbin took Eliza's hand and led her to play on the playground, so she wouldn't be afraid. I held Sol on my lap while swinging on a swing, listening to his laughter. And as Q snapped pictures, I thought, "This is it. This is as good as it gets. This is why we are here." It was a moment when I saw without obstruction the joy that having a family brings. The kind of moment that should happen more often, but I am frequently too busy or preoccupied to notice. How many times have other moments like this passed me by without realizing it? I have rarely appreciated my family more than I did in that moment.
My life is good. I am very, very blessed.
