Until I have children of my own, one particular little bright eyed bundle of joy has kinda captured my heart. Don't get me wrong, I'm not playing favorites here. But Eden Hope Swalm, all of one year old and change, is pretty much the girl in my life right now.
Today she gave me two wet kisses, right on the lips.
Not sure quite how to say this . . . not even really sure what I'm trying to say . . . but my view of what marital bliss is gonna look like has gone from my wife and I spending the first 5 years of our lives together globetrotting to . . . well, kinda having kids pretty early on. I'm not in a rush, and believe me, I've seen enough disobedient kids that I know it's not always sunshine and rainbows. I've heard Mike say more than once now though that his daughters have only enriched his marriage, blessed the family that started when he and Trish got married . . .
Did I mention she gave me a kiss? Two?
Mike, Trish, thank you for letting me be Uncle Greg. It's refreshing to take part in the innocent world of a child, especially when Bella ecstatically shows off how she has arranged her cozies, and Elena turns on the demo music on the keyboard just so she has "something beautiful to dance to".
