i've felt this look before. smile gestures longing love after this child. anticipating, waiting for a sweet smile returned. a love that endures like no other. innocent. pure. a happiness that is created and bubbles deep within. small child creates this feeling, just looking into the precious face staring back.
i unturned this photo of my mom and me, taken in early 1982. the instant i looked at her face smiling at mine, i knew the feeling all too well. i've caught myself lovingly, hopelessly staring into the face of my own girls more than twice before. a feeling stirring within that makes the world a giant playground.
