with beauty and wonder
with the beauty and wonder that only a child can have, jackson discovered my favorite flower on easter sunday. so gorgeous that they look unreal, too good to be true… and yet they are…
dear jackson,
in 8 days you will turn 1, and over the last year i have seen the world with a new set of eyes… a set of eyes that marvels at the delicate, waxy-feel of a tulip… a set of eyes that lights up like fireworks when your daddy walks in the room… a set of eyes that is honest in discovery… thank you for teaching me about beauty and wonder.
i love you,
mom
it seems only appropriate that the bed of tulips i sat jackson in were the most magnificent shade of purple i have ever laid eyes on. and it seems only appropriate that they tapered off into a bed of bright yellow tulips, as though maddie herself were lighting up the world with her smile. madeline’s funeral is today… and it is with true beauty and wonder that i admire the strength of sweet maddie’s mom, heather, in reading her blog post from yesterday.

Beautful post – I’ve been thinking of them all day.
Beautiful pics. It must be so hard to enjoy precious moments with your child while mourning the loss of someone else’s…
Precious.
My heart just breaks for them, so I don’t even know where to begin or what to say.
But I will say that the tulips are lovely and that the pictures of Jackson are just adorable!
