A Hand to Hold


I am hoping this is the first of many times that Allison takes Mia's hand into her own. I envision Allison guiding Mia into the mall playground as soon as Mia is old enough to walk. Allison helping her along at daycare. Reassuring Mia that everything is going to be ok, as they walk into the building on Mia's first day of school.

I know that there will be times that Mia will take Allison's hand as a sign of support and love. When Allison takes a tumble on the playground. When she doesn't get invited to a birthday party or a boy breaks Allison's heart.

I know that the day I see Allison and Mia walking along holding hands, my heart will swell with love and pride and I will thank God once again for the amazing gifts he gave us.

I asked Brian if this post was overly sappy and cheesy and based on his laugh half way through the post, I take it as a yes.
