Sunset on the River

Watching the sun set takes on a different magnitude when you instead watch your child observing the beautiful sky. Jack still looks in wonder at nature. I am sure he saw sunsets, but nothing like seeing the sun reflecting off the river. I still remember how bright everything seemed when we came home from China. The dense pollution layer blocked out sun's light. I wonder if Jack realizes how far he has traveled. So much in his life has changed, yet the implications of those changes won't truly dawn on him until much later. When he looks back at these first few weeks together, I hope he just remembers the joy and laughter he's felt.
