sleeping baby

i spent the weekend with my sister down in LA today to kind of get a new perspective about everything thats been happening. the one thing that really hit me right in the heart...was watching my nephew James sleep in my sister's arm.

I started to tear up at that point. And I just watched him there, sleeping so peaceful without a care on his face and I realized that was something that i want, maybe one of the most important things in the world that i want, is to be able to hold my baby and keep them safe from everything just by being able to put them to sleep.

a lot of things have creeped through my mind lately and its going to take a lot of time to process everything. but in that one moment, everything seemed so clear, this was joy to me, unadulterated happiness, bliss, whatever. even though im his uncle, i felt a connection with that moment that made it feel like he was my own son.

it was really refreshing
