GRANDMA LOVE:
August 10,2020
SLOW BURN
“You won’t believe how incredible you’ll feel the moment they put him in your arms for the first time!”
“Most amazing moment!” etc etc.
These are the things so many people said to me.
Nope….not me.
My love turned out to be a slow burn.
My grandson was a simultaneous bundle of fragility and power.
I allowed God to steady the sails of my journey on this sacred ocean.
I was patient and chose to just trust the process and allow Lucas to capture me.
And capture he did!
My love for my grandson was a gradual and gentle slow burn.
Sweet.
Surreal.
‘Who are you?’ is what my heart would whisper to him in his sleeping moments.
He is roots breaking through the soil on a waiting riverbed.
Ever so slowly and steadily creating a permanent home deep within my heart.
