I See You - Julie Smithwick;Chelle Adams

You hold in your hands a love letter, from all of me to all of you. May we all "See" the children, and each other, now and forever...

-- Julie Smithwick

These words were written in a parking lot of JIm Ned High School in Tuscola, Texas. I was driving home on a Sunday from the beautiful Gaylord Texas hotel in Dallas. I had attended my first even Proctor Gallagher Seminar. The words were so strong on my drive home, I pulled over into the parking lot and wrote them down on paper. That was May of 2013. I have changed the words multiple times over the years and resisted publishing. But as strong as those words came to me all of those years ago, I felt the same, strong feeling....

it was time. It was time to publish and to publish the original words.

So here they are. The original words written on that drive home, brought to life by Chelle Adams and her beautiful illustrations. What started out as a love letter to my son, has turned into a love letter to all of my children and all the children of the world.

A dream. A story. A wonderful story. Thank you, Chelle.

May we all keep dreaming beautiful dreams that surpass all understanding, and may we all "See" the children, and each other, now and forever.
