This Easter I kept taking in the wonder of these beautiful children of mine. These complex, wonderful characters full of emotion and creativity, vulnerability and love.

It is so easy for them to be fully honest. Fully aware. Fully present. Why? I guess they are allowed to be. They don’t stifle their thoughts or run their emotions through a filter of what is acceptable or not. They whole heartedly put themselves out there no matter what. And I drink it in like a life lesson I have not yet grasped.
