When we were on vacation over the summer in Corolla, we went into a funky little store to find something for Laina’s nursery. We found artwork by Brian Andreas (from Story People) and we found a chalkboard made out of an old window pane. We had a hard time deciding between the two, so we decided to get the chalkboard and write the quote from Brian Andreas on it. I guess I should clarify that by saying “we,” I really mean “I.” I’m pretty sure Sam didn’t experience the same struggle that I did ;). The chalkboard in Laina’s nursery says, “For a long time there were only your footprints & laughter in our dreams & even from such small things, we knew we could not wait to love you forever.” Anyway, I stumbled across two other “stories” recently that I like:
Sitting there in your pajamas & all the time in the world & if I could keep any moment it would be this: watching you & holding my breath with the wonder of it all.
The first time her laughter unfurled its wings in the wind, we knew that the world would never be the same.
One thought on “Story People”
You are so sappy and cute. I love it.
