Look a Little Closer

There's something about this image. I keep coming back to it. Children, teaching us a lesson. I see their purity, their innocence, and their love. But I see they are different. When I look at my children from this angle, their profiles side by side, I see just a piece of what makes them different. But ultimately the photo erases those differences and helps me see what they truly are. A brother and sister who do not count chromosomes or neutrophils. To them Chelsea is not sick, there is no cancer. She isn't different from other toddlers, there is no delay, or communication barrier. They are what they are; a brother and sister. Why can't we see the world in black and white?
