dear b’eian,

you have the deardorff stance…

all you need, now…is the bull!

goodness, but i miss that man…our grampa bert

you share his stance…and his chin…and his ruthy’s eyes…

it’s truly wonderful, really…

when i spot your daddy in jack…and gramma mary in claire…and grampa bert and gramma ruth…and their boy…your papa…in you!

great-grands and grands…uncles and aunties…

this whole wonderful family…all swirled up together…

and always peeking out at me…through all of you!

how i wish so many hadn’t already left before getting to kiss on you

how grateful i am for these pictures…so you can “know” them too

my heart aches sometimes…they’re missed so much

but how it smiles…when i spot grampa standing out in the yardall shrunked down in little you!

very sincerely,
me (your kinda-hopeful-you-don’t-have-the-deardorff-teeth-too mama)

    Incredible. How well you described my heart’s feelings in my own precious sons and daughters. I wonder if my Lord allows the great-grands a glimpse.
