As I look out the kitchen window...there she sits on her swing. Since I can remember McKenna has loved the swing. She swings in the morning and at night, she swings when it's windy....she swings when it's hot....she swings in the snow and yes, even in the rain. The swing set is McKenna's Safe Haven, her relaxing place....her thinking spot. As I watch her today, I wonder what she is thinking about as her feet reach for the sky. Is she singing to herself and if so what song? Is she rehearsing her ABCs or talking to an invisible friend? Is she feeling happy and content or wondering what the world will bring her today? The private thought of our children are a mystery to us, as ours are to them. I wish I knew what it's like to be McKenna, swinging through the air with such ease. She always looks so happy. To be five, carefree and gliding through the air.....can you imagine?
