baby!!


my little nephew, Talon Lucas.
I love babies. Because more than being fantastically adorable, they make people have a growth spurt. Suddenly the father holds life in his hands, responsible for defending it at all costs. Suddenly the mother must sustain the most beautiful gift she has seen. A gift she created in her own body. Whether your own blood or an adopted child, the monumentality of promise you hold in your hands is enough to make you feel as though everything led to that point, everything endured was worthwhile so that you could grow into who you were meant to be in your child's life.
