Beautiful.

Deak will gently tap his head forward touching my mouth, messaging for a kiss.

When the lights are out, and she's freshly tucked in, Abby will sweetly say, "Good night, love you."

From behind, I will feel two hands beginning to rub my shoulders while Blair genuinely asks, "How was your day?"

I feel beauty.

The way Deak smiles with his entire face.

The way Ab can smile with the corner of her lip.

The way Blair will smile only when he means it.

The crystal blue green eyes of all three.

I see beauty.

I will unknowingly watch Abby wrap her brother up into her arms, wrestle him still, and ask him "How was the bus today?", or "How is preschool going?" 

I watch Deak smile big, look up into her eyes and begin to jump in excitement.

Abby silently acknowledges that he has answered her questions and sneaks a kiss on his head before he crawls out of her arms, races to the book basket and brings back one of his favorite stories for her to read.

Inevitably, Abby will answer his request by saying, "One more, Deak."

He will clap and hop on his cute little bum with bursts of joy.

Ab will laugh.

I know beauty.

Beautiful encompasses more than physical appearance and stylish clothes.

Beautiful is confident, kind and empathetic.

Beautiful is a state of being.

We are so happy to be involved, even briefly, in a film that celebrates our family's experience with beauty and hope.

My eyes have been forever changed, thanks to Deak. 

And, thanks to Deak-we get to share that with the world.

Close to completion and reliant on funding, the release date has yet to be set. 

It is hopeful it will be soon.
