Speechless

We were in the car, driving home from our pizza party with Ryan Miller. The boys were excitedly discussing who they would share the news of their meeting the famous Sabre.

"I am going to tell Owen and Trevor and Sam," Griffin exclaims, and then continues in a much milder, almost reverent tone, "And Ellerey."

His tone changes so much when he says her name. It is a voice that is wistful and oh, so very much in awe of a sweet little girl.

Brennan caught the change in Griffin's tone immediately. "Why do you like her so much Griffin?" Brennan asked him.

"I don't know," Griffin replied "It's like. I just... I don't know, but when I look at her... I think... I think she is just so..... beautiful." His face beamed a bright, radiant smile as he said the word "beautiful" and looked out the car window.

I, of course, cried the whole car ride home.
