I stumbled upon this set of statues while making memories with my sister and cousins.

These are in Edisto Memorial Gardens located in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

These three life-like children are located on the shore of a pond.

The boy reminds me of my son at that age. He loved skipping rocks.

These three statues brought up a flood of thoughts

My children at that age…

My middle school students…

childhood innocence…

I wanted to hug each figure.
