A couple months ago I noticed on our balcony a dove nestled in one of our flower baskets. I continued to check on her and as a week or two went by two little ones began to appear. The momma dove would leave and return again to feed her babies and then spread her wings over them. I saw the growing babies just a few days ago and they were ready to try out their wings. Today, the basket is empty, ready for the flowers to be planted.
I sit here and reminisce as my one year old stands next to me. Just yesterday I was holding my precious newborn as we welcomed him into this world. Today he walks. Tomorrow....he'll be ready to fly.
