Portal to Our Family
We are a couple enjoying our third decade together in our rural New England home. We have two grown children, a teenager, a toddling grandson, two infant grandsons, and a preschool aged son who came home to us from China.
Our Family
GB-the oldest, a son, who works in finance and is the proud new father of a baby boy with his girlfriend.
PB-the second, a daughter, who works in daycare and lives just a couple of miles away with her husband and two sons
LB-the third, a daughter, who is in high school and still discovering who she is
YB-the youngest, who was born in Beijing and joined our family in October
And, of course, the whole extended family of a dozen siblings and their spouses, children, grandchildren...not to mention the critters.
Children
Your children are...
...the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you....
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams........
........You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.....
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable
(Kahlil Gibran)
