September 15

This is the way things were supposed to be before it all went so horribly wrong three years ago.

The Little Boys playing a giggly game of Ring Around the Rosie in the back yard on a cool, near-autumnal evening.

They were supposed to be a pair all along. Abby and Logan were the other pair. And now... well, it's not how things turned out. I mourn the loss of what should have been.

But I celebrate stolen moments like these, when I glance out the window and get a glimpse of a piece of the beautiful reality that, once upon a time, I thought would be mine.
