A Spring of Joy

Do you see this face?

And this one?

And this one?

So do I. And it’s not through a computer screen.

And this face?

This fabulously amazing man and I stayed up until 1:00 a.m. talking face to face.

And this?

This was waiting for me when I got home (along with balloons and homemade cards and flowers). The kids wanted me to have something to sleep with since I couldn’t have Daddy with me and they didn’t want me to be alone anymore. We named him Aslan because as Ash put it, “Jesus is the best place to find comfort.”

Happy sighs. Lots of big, deep, happy sighs.
