Footprints in the Snow

This morning it snowed a couple of inches and when Dave was loading up the boys into the truck I noticed that Connor was following his Dad around doing everything from loading Preston into the car to watching Dad brush the snow off the truck's windows. When I looked at the snow in the driveway I saw a perfect set of footprints from Dave and Connor. Side by Side. It is so amazing to me that such a little boy will someday have feet as large as his Dad's. But it also reminded me of the poem "Footprints in the Sand" because it is so true that Dave will walk beside Connor every step of his life but when Connor needs to be carried Dave will be there to carry him.
