my kids

Amazing

Incredible

Resilient

Three words that just start to describe two young people who I love so much.  They're my kids.  12 and 13.  Red headed boy named Cade and a sweet young girl, Cambrey.

They've been through a life without a full-time dad.  They still show that they love me.  That always AMAZES me.

They've seen changes in family dynamics that I never had to deal with until I became an adult.  Yet they still smile and laugh and are just, well, INCREDIBLE!

My mom said to me years ago - "they'd go anywhere with you."

I've dragged them up Stone Mountain.  They've traveled back and forth from my various houses to their home in Evans (Augusta).  I think that I could ask them to go across country with me and they would smile and say 'yes'.

So RESILIENT.

I Love Them more than they could ever realize.  I worry about them.  I cherish them.  I see myself in them in little ways here and there.

My son still grabs onto my arm and hugs me.  Of course he's almost 6 ft tall now - WOW!  But he's still a boy who tells his dad that he loves him.  That precious excited face that my daughter made as a tot still surfaces at times and I just melt when I see it in this young lady that stands before me.

They may never fully know how dear they are to my heart.  I hope that one day they will know the depth of my love.  That I still think of them throughout my days and that I smile when I have a reminder of just how cool they are.

They're my kids.  Two of the best people I know.
