A hard day in the family

(a quick sketch from a
photo of Steven and the boys
when Sam was a baby. I like
the exhausted Dad look
on Steven's face.)

As the loss of Steven's close brother becomes a dominant fact--
we are thinking about him all the time--I am so grateful for my
sons and the love they've expressed for their uncle, and for Steven.
Missing a loved one is huge. And love from your family is a gift.

So tonight I'm sharing this little sketch from a blog awhile
ago talking about loving children when they are little, and
loving my sons as grown men.  I certainly do.  They are
kind and loving, and supportive. Yes! And they
have brought so much wonder into our family.

Thank you guys.  And thank you to Steven's brother for 
being an amazing, kind, funny and wonderful person.

Have a loving your life day!
