Windows to the soul...

Posted by Networkchic at 1:34 PM





I never get tired of looking into the eyes of my sweet Alice. It's not just because she's my child, it's because in her eyes I see the type of person she has the potential to be. I often wonder if my own parents looked into my eyes as a child and knew the kind of person I'd be when I grew up. Did they know that my heart would always stay tender even after picking up the broken pieces time after time? Did they know that babies and animals would always make me feel 'squishy' on the inside? Did they know I'd be strong enough to not only believe in my convictions but to practice them? I think they knew. When I look at Alice I know that after all the bumps and bruises she'll surely endure, the person that remains will be full of compassion and conviction. I know because every day that I still have a say...I'll teach her how important those things are. And even when she wanders off the path I hope she'll follow, those lessons will be there like a lighthouse in the storm, waiting her return.

    She is beautiful. My son is ten now. When my eyes meet his and he is chatting about his interests he is so happy I am looking into his eyes. Nobody ever took the time to stop and look into my eyes when I was talking. They are angels sent from heaven. God bless~

    Looking in a child's eyes is the best way to see forever.

    wow.
    You know what's funny? When I look in her eyes, I see you.
    And I don't even know you.
    But I think, "this is how she was (meaning you), is, and forever will be, in some surreal sense."
    I think that she is beautiful.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Have a fabuous weekend, my friend.

    She is a doll. I really pray they will be able to see the light house.

    She's so adorable, and those little eyes of hers show happiness and comfort and knowing she is loved completely. I'm with e.e. - when I see her, I see a little you - but without the family pain. Alice has so many wonderful things ahead of her, and your love and lessons will always be with her!
