open your eyes
and see
what you can see
with them
before they close
forever.
- anthony doerr
all the light you cannot see
it has been an eye opening week...
volunteering with the dovetail program at the cridge centre for the family
has exponentially increased my gratitude index for this life given to me.
working with women and children who come from abusive homes
has really opened up my eyes to how very delicate the structure of the family is
and how important our job as mothers truly is.
oh... but these women are strong !!!
and the children have such resilience and beautiful eyes !!!
wishing you all a wonderful weekend
