I wept silently as I watched the 3 of them hug. Nathaniel whispering assurances in Noah's ear. He swept them up into his arms and turned to me, inviting me into the fold. As we held our children we continued to slow dance our family into the promise of a bigger and better tomorrow.. - It Started with a Glance..that turned into a Touch.
