just before landing, i saw one of the most beautiful sights i have ever seen. i looked out my window and saw clouds. clouds stretching so far that i couldn't see the end of them. they looked like the comfiest soft pillows. if only i could have walked on them. then, there was a yellow glow from the sun above them. it was magical. honestly. and it turned out i wasn't the only person awe struck.
you could have heard a pin drop in that plane. it was dead silent. and when i looked around everyone was just staring out the windows. it was the first time i was ever jealous of a pilot. i could have sworn if we went any higher we were going to reach heaven.
then i reached yorba linda where i was greeted by my mom, courtney, and little berlynn. and i realized i had reached heaven. cause i was with my family. and it's official that heaven is where your family is. (of course it was only almost heaven since my hubby wasn't there.) but for real. i had such a happy heart being with the ones i love.
every year, the importance of marriage, family relationships, raising little ones, etc...is emphasized to me. we as human beings have children so that we can enjoy the blessings of family. those blessings are so rich, so wonderful. they bring the greatest possible amount of joy that can be felt.
families are not perfect. and it takes a lot of hard work to make them happy and healthy. but they are worth it. for the small moments like this.
.happiness.
