The emptiness of words
by Jillian @ http://blueshelled.com . October 8, 2009 . 1:27PM
As A.J. grows up there are a lot of things from his childhood that are lost to us forever that we love in the minute. One of those things is the speech of our child. Our life will be much more empty when AJ starts saying words correctly.
For example:
Calvin & Hobbes instead of Calvin and “Hobbies”
I expect instead of I “suspect”
Spaghetti instead of “pahsghetti”
Pretzel instead of “prenzhel”
And the one we’ve already lost: Water instead of “Moder”
Yes…life is full of loss. The little smiles we share as they grow.

Life is like a game. We all have challenges, thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Often, it feels like something out there, life, karma, catty people, or blue shells (for the Kart lovers), seeks to bring us down. Luckily, we always get up. This is where I wear my heart on my sleeve and my foot in my mouth.
