These People

• They associate the sound of the lock on the door being turned, with their dad coming home.
• I can tell when they are in need of something, but too shy to ask.
• They wake up early and are finally aware that we do not need to be awake as well.
• They sleep through the night, 98% of the time.
• They can make me smile when I least expect it.
• They share half my DNA.
• They know me better than anyone else.
• Their silliness can be the most adorable thing, or the worst, depending on the location and topic of silliness.
• They can make me laugh and be filled with joy.
• Their innocent conversations bring me to realize things that I may have missed or forgotten.
• I've never been more proud of any three people in the world.
• When they get home is the best part of my day.
• They get along, most of the time, and play well once they know what direction to go.

• I pray for them daily, looking for patience and guidance as they grow.
• Their names are Seven, Five and Three. These are the most important people to me.
