Today in class we were discussing family. One of my 8th graders said, "my grandparents really love each other." That's it. Those are the words I want to cling to tonight. I want to dwell on love's legacy.
I look at this student and I see her: happy, intelligent, and confident. I look at her and wonder how much of what is good in life comes from someone else's love? How much of her stability comes from that simple statement: "my grandparents really love each other."
What legacy did her grandparents give her parents? What legacy do they give her?

That is a beautiful thing to muse Julie...thank you
I also like wonder how far love goes back. If we are loved today, who started the chain of it? :)
btw, did I mention already how excited I am that you are blogging now? Or that I just know about your blog?
