but I only blinked once...

I am not sure what happened because I only blinked once... a quick blink... 

One that you don't even notice. 

A blink without thinking.

Seriously... 

blink

 Tiny babies turned into young ladies,

Elementary school turned into middle school,

Milk mustaches turned into glossed lips.

blink

Best friends documenting seven years of blinks
all their own. 

Do they realize the journey they have begun? 

Together.

Thank God... together.

Kindred spirits.

As I write I promise myself to blink more deliberately,

not to be caught off guard again 

by the surprising beauty of my growing girl and her bff.

Breathe and blink...
