Sometimes I watch my daughter swing with the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. My son is giggling in the distance, and my husband is chasing him barefoot through the yard. And in those moments, I feel a kind of quiet that doesn’t need words. This life we’re living? It’s everything I prayed for, even before I had the words to ask. Even before I believed it could be mine. I didn’t grow up with this kind of stillness. My parents loved me, no doubt about that, but they carried so much. They worked so hard, so often, with little time to rest. They gave what they could… and what they gave me most was the dream I’m living now. I don’t take a single second for granted. There’s a part of me that wants to bottle these moments and freeze time, because I know one day I’ll miss the sound of little feet in the grass, the way my daughter yells “higher!” like she’s trying to reach heaven. This kind of life doesn’t scream for attention. It whispers, and I’m listening with everything in me. God, thank You. For our health. For this family. For answered prayers I didn’t even know how to pray.
