With Arms Wide Open

Each night Olivia asks me what position she should fall asleep in. And then I hug her. She says she wants to fall asleep in the exact spot where I snugged her last. This is our nightly ritual. Tonite's position was "arms wide open" so when I go in and kiss her one final time before I turn out my light I can give her another giant hug. Here she is fast alseep in her trundle bed in tonite's position...







While we certainly have deep challenges, I believe Olivia is one of the main reasons I am on this earth...to learn to love without limits, let go completely, and embrace this life...with arms wide open.
