Just Two Hands

Today as we stepped in sync along the tree lined path and listened to the brook below, I paused before I reached for his small hand.

He's big now. Would he pull it away? That was my biggest fear. Would he hold it for a moment despite his embarrassment to spare hurting my feelings? Nope. His seven year old, soon to be a big second grader hand warmly embraced my own and we strolled together without a word.

It was perfect.

That makes me smile....do I really have to start worrying at 7? I try to remind myself that those days are coming and to appreciate how much my kids want to be with me now!

I love that Luke!!! It's hard to look into the future but those hands will some day take your arm and guide you step by step through your golden years.
