sunlight

lately, as Kailyn's nap time nears, the warm afternoon sun begins to shine through the blinds casting bright lines of light on our living room floor. the atmosphere is calm and lazy, willing us to lay around enjoying the relaxing warmth of the sun's heat through the window. it brings me back to my childhood. i remember during the spring and summer, the sun would shine through our back door, which was basically a large glass window pane with a doorknob. there would be a rectangular shape of sunlight cast out on the ground perpendicular to the door. it was so calming for some reason. there was this warmth in the air and as we walked around the house, there was just a sense of calmness. for years i missed those days. nothing could quite replicate it, until now. its so amazing to me how similar the feeling is to when i was younger. it makes me wonder if Kailyn is etching the same kind of feelings and memories into her head. i wonder if years from now, when she is enjoying the lazy afternoons with her children, if she will look back the way i am now, and think of these days as being so peaceful and so perfect. i love afternoons like these, they bring back fond childhood memories while at the same time allowing me to create new ones with my own little girl.
