We were in Lytham, England on a combination trip of sorts. We visited motherlands, saw my daughter, celebrated graduation and adulthood, and was thankful for life.
Walking out to the St. Anne's Pier, we stopped in a shop and saw this dragon kite. It was a windy day, I was with Jeremiah, and I had to get it.
When Jeremiah graduated from preschool, he said that when he grows up he wants to be a dragon. It's become a family joke for years.
As he turned 18 on the 22nd of June, he truly is a dragon - large and untamed but fiercely loyal and kind.
How many of our kids want to be dragons when they grow up? How do we nurture those that want to be something else besides a doctor, lawyer, police officer, or firefighter?
I am reminded to grow the dreams of all and to take advantage of special moments such as these. ♡
