Teary-Eyed

So,

I have been a little teary-eyed of late.


You know-

the tears motivated by good things…

the unexpected moments

that knock your breath loose.


Things like…



*My oldest grandson (above) sitting on the hood of Hauler 2 (my Tahoe),

keeping a watchful eye on his little brother at T-Ball practice,

with his hands shading his eyes,

like a farmer,

in a little man sort of way.


 

*My oldest daughter,

following my youngest grandson ,

as he walked toward his first ever T-ball practice,

with his head down,

and his cap scrunched on tight,

and his arms swinging,

in a little man sort of way.

*And then that same little man

listening to his coach

so, so hard.
