An Amazing Expression of Love

Today we had two very dear cousins, Bob and Mary, stop by for a visit. Mary has been taking water color classes for quite some time now and has painted some amazing pictures throughout the last couple years (some awesome ones of her grandchildren!) Earlier this week they called and said they wanted to come and visit. This afternoon Mary came up to our door telling me she had something for me and was very nervous to see if I’d like it. She had painted a watercolor of Jacob’s 3 week picture, and WOW…words cannot express how I felt when I saw that picture. To think that someone had taken all that time to paint something for me, something so dear. It’s something that I will always treasure and will definitely find a prominent spot on a wall in our home. It’s truly an amazing picture. And I think it’s really special that it’s of Jacob, the poor second child who has no where near as many pictures of him as Matthew does. Well now he has something special that his brother doesn’t have! Mary, if you read this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Again, it’s one of the most special things I have ever been given. I know you poured your heart into what you did and I just absolutely love it. It’s perfect. It's amazing.

Here's the original picture so you can see just how spectacular the painting is!
