Sometimes I catch myself looking into one of my kid’s eyes and I am instantly lost in thought trying to find my features in their face.

I look at their expression and think, “Do I make that face?”

I look at their eyes and try to find me there.

It’s not because I doubt we share the same DNA, it’s just that sometimes I need to feel that CONNECTION. I need to feel that tie, that bond… that closeness that only seeing yourself in another person can give you.

And then when I find it…it can happen in as fast as 3 seconds….I can finally exhale.

My heart, or at least pieces of it, walk around in this world.. and every so often, I just need to find them, lock them in and reconfirm that they are in fact MINE. 

It’s a feeling of completion like nothing I have ever known.
