Departures Again (Ug)

I hate it when the 3 boys leave. Some times I'm able to say it a bit more eloquently than that but the bottom line is the same: I hate it. Heather and I cling to each other and cry after they pull away and I feel like I'm going to be sick for the rest of the day. It's no fun.

There is a boy who’s gonna build homes with his bare hands
There is a son who will sing for all the land
There is a young man and he's lying wide awake
We're all asking how long we're gonna have to wait

There is a boy longing for peace
There is a son who will dance in the streets
There is a young man facing the sky
We're all trying to make sense of how we feel inside

It's very lovely, if I do say so myself.

There are many things I like about this photo. First, I'm their mama so I'm going to like it regardless, right? But still. It was taken by a guy named Dean at a recent gig that Jesse and Trevor played with friends.

For one thing, I like "Caught in the Moment" photos. They capture and convey something bigger than just the scene and how it was set. I like the way the photographer jiggled the colors and came up with these. For some reason, I also very much like Trevor's arm and the way he is bending toward Jesse. I wish I could hear what Jesse is smiling and talking about. I like that I can hear his laugh when I look at this.

But there's something else in here that startles my mind and heart and I think it is this...

This is a photo of 2 men.

Hello men.
