In about a half an hour, it will be midnight and Caleb Matthew will be 8 years old. And I will get off this computer to make my way carefully up his wobbly bunkbed ladder. In the nightlight glow I can study our youngest two sons as they dream. With slack jaws and Spiderman jammies, curled up around each other like labrador puppies. Their faces relax so much in deep sleep so that if I just squint my eyes, I can still see the chubby baby and the busy toddler they used to be. And because it's late, and I because I am hopelessly emotional at their birthdays, I'll cry just a little...
because it just happened so fast.
