elastic heart.

 Motherhood.
If you could only see the stretch marks...
...on my heart.

Nothing prepared me for this.
The way this heart can be pulled to such extremes.
Stretched taut by their
sleeplessness
crankiness
messiness
neediness
...
my rubber-band heart snaps.

But, it always bounces back,
pliable and soft.
by their
sweetness
playfulness
laughter
affection

Nothing prepared me for that.

Azriel and Hudson

elastic hearted,
Mel ;o)

  11. What fashionable wee ones you have. I adore Azriel's outfit, as usual. Hudson's is cute, too, but there is just something about a ruffled shirt that makes me swoon.


    In other news, check out my blog tomorrow, I have a wee-little surprise for you!!
