Tonight I sat on the front porch with Jason watching Ainsley hunt and catch lightning bugs. It brought back a lot of fun memories of summer evenings spent chasing lightning bugs around my parents back yard. In the early evening the back yard took on the look of Christmas, the trees literally sparkling with hundreds of lightning bugs. I always revelled at how beautiful it was to see, and disappointed to see how quickly it would pass.
Tonight I watched Ainsley daintily dance around the yard, chasing after every bug she saw. In her Cinderella nightgown and pink sparkle shoes, it was even more beautiful than the scene I remember as a kid. And again I was disappointed to see it pass so quickly, but this time for very different reasons.
