Today I had the privilege of holding sweet Marcus as he slept. I am awed every time a baby slumbers in my arms. I can't believe that this perfect little person has such complete trust in me. My heart swells with the desire to be worthy of such faith. I'm not a parent myself, but as an aunt, godmother, teacher, and trusted-adult friend, I find myself part of a community of adults who love children. Cuddling little Marcus, newly baptized, and smiling with precious Regan, I am blessed, too. On the Headbone: When You Dream, Barenaked Ladies Book today: (repeat recommendation) Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, Jack Gantos.
