The peace of a Mom's Lap


"Mom is the first word that a child says
when he/she learns to speak.
She remains the center
of attention and respect for a child
for a long time to come
and it is her love and peace in her lap
that clings forever to the memory of a child."

I love this photo of Liz and Henry. I am thankful to have Liz as a daughter-in-law and Henry as a grandson. It is wonderful to be able to spend time with them. Henry is growing and changing each time we see him and he loves any kind of ball, especially golf balls!

I love seeing babies comforted by their mama's--whether it be just an embrace, being held in their arms, or a much-needed hug. Such a sweet photo.
