It's about Family! It's about Love!


My youngest son
Family
A sacred institution created by God
Brother, sister, father, mother,
aunt, uncle, grandpa, grandma,
niece, nephew, son, daughter.
 
Family
It’s all about love.
It’s all about joy.
It’s all about connections.
It’s  all about forever.


Family
We came here to earth to support and to grow
We came here to earth to experience and love
We came here to earth to learn and inspire
We came here to earth to make a difference.

 
So life goes on. Our beautiful baby Austen Helam is now almost eleven months old. Melanee has been a champ at sharing videos, photos, and special little moments with us all.

My grandson
I am so grateful for her and her willingness to do so. It seems surreal that I have a grandson. We live so far away, and I've only been able to see him a few times in person. Yet the truth is, that I am a grandmother. And I love that little boy so much.

 As I gaze at the pictures of our little boy, I see so many similarities between him and my own children.

The cheeky smile.
The bright blue eyes.
The curly hair.
The excitement for the big outdoors.
His love for splashing in the water.

It fills me with joy to see so much of our family in him.

Yet at the same time, he is definitely a Wilson. He looks just like his daddy. The way he plays rough and tumble with his brothers. The squeal of delight. All of this brings me such joy. And I am reminded that he is in the right place.
