As human beings we have an incredibly deep capacity for love. There has been no more profound of an example of that love in my life than that which I have for my daughter. It is wired in me to love, cherish, and protect her while also enjoying her as she grows and develops. My love well does not seem to grow dry but only to increase in its depth for her with each passing day. Certainly it is imperfect but it is altogether increasing in its beautiful complexity.
One of the greatest joys I have experienced in relation this love, is sharing my daughter with others, especially those who share my love for her. A few weeks ago, we were able to share our little girl with my husband's parents for a week, and oh how beautiful a time it was. To see the joy that my daughter brings to her grandparents' lives increases my own joy. I loved looking at her little face, who I often regard only as my own, and to see the faces of many generations radiating from hers. I was often in awe of how parts of so many people could be manifested in one small life, lives that would not otherwise be connected. How wonderful to participate in this web that connects her little life together!
I could not help but capture the sweet moments spent together as a family. So please indulge me by sharing a few smiles as you look at the images below.
