i was looking for something WAY back in my blog...and came across this picture in this post.
oh my heart.
who ARE they? and where did they go?? i think sawyer looks like my baby now...but when i look at that? i might have sprung instant tears from my eyes.
gosh. they are so beautiful.
i had other things to do with the last 10 minutes. but i spent most of them staring at that picture and wondering where time goes.
the next thought that made me cry?? i will NEVER know what lincoln looked like at that age (sawyer was 2). i'll never know what his little "changing from baby face to toddler face" looked like. i grieve for that. he will grow. and i WILL have {lots!} pictures to look back on to remember what he looked like when he was 4 and 5 and...but still, i grieve not knowing what he smelled like, what his skin felt like....
time flies. don't miss a moment!

stop!
Yes! I feel that way when I look back at pictures (or videos!) of Finley....and he's only 3! I can't imagine how I'll feel in 10 years.
it is a precious burden that we get to carry. these beautiful children whose past will forever remain a mystery except to their Father. so grieve and then celebrate and then do it all over again - it is part of the journey of being an adoptive mama.
