Melissa and Joel 2021

When the whole world fits inside your arms…

It feels easy to keep it safe and protected.

But when your whole world starts to grow up and become a lovely person all on her own…

It feels harder and harder to know how to keep her safe.

So you give affection and humility and grace and love. And pray that each day…

She’ll always know where she belongs.

Melissa and Joel - if we weren’t related, I would still call you part of my family! :) Thanks for allowing me to see your whole little world year after year. Love you guys so much!
