The heat continues as we look for monsoons.
Seems life is always full of expectations.
Rather than appreciating the now moment,
we look forward to better times, even
during the good ones that are too soon gone.

Being together with loved ones has passed,as we all return to our normal daily life.
Today's families seldom live near each other,
so our reunions are few and far between.
Hugs and personal interactions infrequent.
Empty nests are empty again for this life.Feeling fulfillment as I stood by grown sons
now mature and independent yet recalling
their births and toddlerhood with fondness,
we are all growing older as life progresses.

Great photos through the years of your four handsome sons, Lin. You must be proud of them.
ReplyDeleteHi, I just came over from Terri's blog. You had commented that you mainly write for your family, and I thought, Oh, someone like me! Anyway, it's nice to 'meet' you. I loved this post...and watching the changes over the years.
ReplyDeleteThey all turned out so handsome!!!
ReplyDeleteI realize I've missed a few postings... so I had a good visit catching up.... you have a beautiful family! Enjoyed seeing the pictures.
ReplyDeleteHandsome devils :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the poem and the images. Watching the hair lengths change over the years is fun. Their eyes give them away as yours!
ReplyDeleteHandsome sons indeed! Your words are so very true indeed, seems as if I am always looking too far ahead, forgetting to live in the moment now!
ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed with your children. And your grandchildren, too. Seems like you are in a funk, and that is uncommon for you, I think. What works for you to get out of it? You can do it!!
ReplyDeleteLove the progression in the photos. You are a lucky Mom and those boys have a wonderful Mother...
