Perennial – Vivace

So this is a great theme. Perennial. Plants and flowers, of course… and perennials are my favorites, to be honest. I planted lot’s of them all around our house. But the theme also made me think of growing… up. Of children, how fast they grow, what they need. The “recipe” for both is… quite similar: seeds (of love), lots of care, and time..

The more time, the better. They grow up so fast. This is also a tribute to my parents, the greatest time-love-care givers I know…. for me and my sister, growing up… and now for both our kids. I guess good parents makes good grand-parents.  Thanks for your love, care… and time you spend with our boys. They will cherish it all their life, ans so will we. Love you.

Voici un thème que j’aime beaucoup. Vivace. Ca fait penser aux plantes et aux fleurs, bien sur… et ce sont celles que je préfèrent, honnêtement.  J’en ai planté plusieurs autour de la maison et année après années c’est vraiment beau de les voir grandir. Ca m’a donc aussi fait penser aux enfants. Ils grandissent tellement vite! J’y ai vu un lien. Ca ne prend pas grand chose pour une plante (ou un enfant) pour qu’il grandisse bien… de l’amour, bien sur, mais aussi beaucoup de soins et surtout… du temps.  J’en profite  justement pour  remercier mes parents, qui sont les maîtres incontestés du savoir “donner”. De l’amour, des soins et surtout, de leur temps. Merci, pour le temps que vous nous avez donnés… et pour le temps que vous donnez à nos garcons. Ils s’en souviendrons toute leurs vies. Et nous aussi. Je vous aimes… GROS.
