It has been there for a few weeks... even through the rain. I think I am the only one who has noticed it. Eric would have tried to scrub it off... my kids surely would have pointed it out, and probably would have laughed about it.
I love it... this hand print on my walkway. Because the hand that was so stained by red mulch that it would leave a mark on concrete, is the same hand that has held tightly onto mine for almost nineteen years. It is the hand that held onto mine when we promised each other forever and when our babies came into the world. It is the hand that rests in mine when we are driving in the car or just watching TV. His hands... are gentle and strong all at once... and seeing the mark when I walk up to our home is like a warm embrace, his hand on my heart.
Celebrating the mess that life is... and the beauty... on Tuesday with Emily.
Awwwwwww. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteOff post topic, I just have to say that when I brought your site up from fb, Norton told me it was unsafe. Ooooooooo. Should I be scared of you? Nah. I could never be afraid of the "lady with the smiling eyes". And actually it was "Network Blogs" (or whatever it's called) that it told me was unsafe....still not scared. I'm so daring that way ;)
Aw, Dawn, this is so precious. Love.
ReplyDeleteGET. OUT. That's Eric's handprint? That is wonderful.
