lets go fly a kite!

today, we took chaeli to the small park across the street. with a kite in tow, she happily walked with us, knowing full well something new and exciting was about to happen.

i found myself a shady patch of grass to cop a squat.

in the near distance, i watched as chaeli jumped up and down in excitement as the wind swept the kite upwards.

my family. i thought to myself. there they are.

i noticed chaeli’s small body, compared to doug’s beside her. she is so little. but so full of life!

for a moment, i completely let go of everything else and just enjoyed the vision of father and daughter… flying a kite.

even when she got upset at something and started to cry out, “mommy! mommy!” i couldn’t help but to smile.

for one day, i know that i will not hear that little voice anymore. one day, that little voice will sound so much older… and all this before me will be a memory.
