free spirit

My son Micah has the most amazing free spirit. I found this photo in my archives this evening. I love how he is watching the tide wash over his feet. Feeling, experiencing, loving. There is no pretense, nothing fake about how he experiences life. He accepts people and experiences for what they are. I'm not a perfect parent or person. I make mistakes, I cry, I need support. One hug from this precious boy reminds me that every struggle, every fight, every tear is worth it and then some.
