One Quarter Shy, Three Quarters Delight

I stood under our meeting tree and waited to see my son after school. I put effort into how I greet my kids after being separated because I believe it’s one of those moments worth being intentional about and investing in.

I adore my kids, but you know those moments when the love washes over you so strongly, so deeply, so fully, it’s overwhelming? That.
