Porterman

16 year-old Porter.
Wise beyond his years.
Super computer savvy.
Very knowledgeable in cars, welding, building computers, building a lot of things.
He has some health issues which have contributed to his small stature.
He loves to hang out with his dad.
He also loves to hang out in his bedroom downstairs.
It's rare for P-man to hang out with the family outside or upstairs.
VERY rare.
He's a hard one to crack, but his smile will light up your life!

Saturday night, the boys were with their mom.
He stopped by after work.
As soon as he went outside, Kehlani greeted him in the most Kehlani way...
Loving.
Affectionate.
Just full of joy.

She grabbed his hand and stayed right with him while Papa started the fire.
Porter called his mom and told her he'd be staying at our house.
Kehlani wasn't going to let him go anywhere.

After holding his hand while the fire was built, she led him over to the porch and he drew with sidewalk chalk for her.
In the midst of chaos, which is always around us in abundance, this baby girl brings solace and peace and love and calm.



Porterman was just what Lani needed for a little while on Saturday night and I'm so grateful they have each other!
