A Game Played by Miracles

I met my youngest son when he was thirteen months old.

He was the size of a three month old infant,

placed into my arms curled into rigid fetal position,

unable to make a sound or suck a bottle.

I faintly recall a doctor's voice...

" We don't expect that he will ever walk, or talk, or have measurable intelligence."

Opening Day

Miracle League

If you have the opportunity to participate in any way with a Miracle League team...

volunteer, donate, register your child, spearhead the building of a field...

do it.

I cried through a baseball game...

a baseball game!

...played by miracles ages four and up.

SOOC Saturday ~ Photographs or Words

Words tease, elude and mesmerize all in the same moment.

I haven't felt the gift of words for some time. I've felt tormented and blessed all in the same instant,

but words have been running from me. My heart feels, but my mouth is mute; my fingers still.

So communication with photographs has been the obvious choice...

...except last night I searched for images on my CF cards. There were none.

I searched my iMac for recent images. There were none.

Funny...

...the images were vivid in my mind and, most happily, in my heart.

I have found myself living life rather than photographing it.

Penning the journey whereby a family seemingly disintegrates due to extreme, emotional special needs

and all hearts are stomped into mush before being solidified by love is (at present for me) indescribable.

So for now, I am not so much photographing life as living it.

And life is good...until it gets un-good again and then...it is still good as long as we love.

Share anything from your heart...words, photographs...either or...maybe both...

...because life is short and precious and...

a gift.

SOOC Saturday [and Sunday] or

SOOH (straight out of heart...sounds good, yes?)

❤

After reading some comments I realize my thoughts may be read as though sadness prevails...quite the opposite. Our family is thriving happily, and I have found myself more focused on being in the moments rather than photographing them.

Also, while adjusting to new glasses, I can't see a thing clearly and that makes photography a challenge. Word is the adjustment will take two weeks. Driving.Me.Bonkers.

 

 

Taking Care of the Present

will be back soon...

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present.

God has given me no control over the moment following.

"Show up every day and try your best."

Her voice quivered as she whispered those words and thought,

some days just the showing up feels impossible.

Quietly she peeled back the covers, put her feet on the floor

and breathed.
