One day we will tell her that she was named<\/p>\n
after the magnolia tree, we could see<\/p>\n
from the window<\/p>\n
in our first apartment<\/p>\n
Tell her that even though<\/p>\n
our first home wasn’t picturesque<\/p>\n
we made beautiful memories with what we had<\/p>\n
because what we had was each other<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One day we will tell him that he was named after his father<\/p>\n
and grandfather<\/p>\n
and great grandfather<\/p>\n
Tell him that he comes from a long line of strong<\/p>\n
and compassionate men<\/p>\n
who knew that to carry this name<\/p>\n
was to honor the men who came<\/p>\n
before him<\/p>\n

and we don’t expect to create one<\/p>\n
But there is something to be said<\/p>\n
about a family founded on<\/p>\n

that always dries in the sunshine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
