Just a little smile
A lovely friend of mine who has a large family shared this with me, and I wanted to post it for you to enjoy. I know I have waxed poetic on so many occasions about the joys of having a big family, and yet, here I am, on a semi-regular basis, feeling a bit swamped with "only two" (although I rather detest the word "only" applied to children, as though one doesn't have a real family until some magic number). So please don't mistake my enthusiasm for ignorance; I am certain parents of large families work really hard. It isn't easy. But... what I think this song captures so sweetly is that children are such a source of joy. So for every long day (or sleepless night) they bring us, they give us so, so much more. Somedays I can't help but smile as I think that the love Patrick and I share is so real that it produced two eternal souls. What an adventure parenthood is!
