These Painful Freckles.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Katie

My girls have been gone all of spring break.


They won’t be home until Sunday evening.

And like I always do when they’re gone for any length of time, I pore over all of the pictures of them in my computer, all grief-stricken and misty-eyed, because it’s absolute torture for me when they’re not home.

It’s pictures like this one that just slay me… how in the world can I survive three more days without laying eyes on these freckles?

I can’t wait for her to get home so I can kiss every single one of them. Whether she likes it or not…

    No doubt she looks forward to having each and every freckle kissed! You are such a good mama….they will always remember the warm welcomes you give them each time they come home.
