If only all life's problems could be soothed by gentle hands, held away by a warm embrace, or be safely wrapped away from in the softness of a favorite blanket. Those sweet hours just don't last long enough do they? Our little ones, whether they be four-legged or two, grow up all too quickly. There comes a time when, no matter how much we might want to, we can't just pick our little loveys up and carry them home. Of course there is the fact that our loveys might not feel the need, let alone the desire, to be picked up not to mention the fact that we couldn't even do it if we tried. My baby boy is now 6'5"--it would almost be worth the laugh if he would even let me try to pick him up. Original 4 x 4 gallery-wrapped mini painting in a private collection.
