Being a bystander to the precious, limitless, unconditional love between your babies and your mom: PRICELESS

This, I wasn’t prepared for. This depth of love and devotion from someone other than me. When my babies were first born, I thought, “how sweet that my mom & tias love them so much, but I’m sure that will fade as the newness fades.” I never imagined that their love for them would grow, just as it does for me. Everyday, I wondered if there was a time limit to the excitement of a new child. Kind of like 9/11 or someone’s wedding day. Everyone unites in the victories and the tragedies, but eventually, feelings fade for those not left with a daily reminder.

For me, this “second generation” type of love still surprises me everyday. “Will today be the day their faces don’t light up when they see each other?” But that day never comes.

I love being an on-looker in their relationship. It’s so precious, so unique, so deep a bond that I don’t think I’ll ever understand it. But it melts my heart everyday. Because selfishly, the love my family gives my children somehow touches my heart, fills my cup, and reminds me of the undeserved love of my Heavenly Father. What other love could this be, than the love of Jesus through angels themselves?
