Having one of those days
where I am in awe at the wonder of God’s creation. Spring is definitely on its way and the
presence of a rainy day seemed to wake up my senses. I sat and rocked Mila for the longest time,
closed my eyes and listened to nothing but the rain on our rooftop and her warm
baby breaths on my chest. It’s those
quiet moments when it hits you – that overwhelming feeling of thanks for the
life you are blessed to be living, all colliding with the just-as-strong sense
of how fleeting it all is. I stick my
face in the crook of her neck, kiss her soft skin, and yearn for a pause
button. How can I remember this feeling? How can I keep it close to me when the world
is rushed and everything changes so fast?
We’ve been talking about superpowers lately and I think mine would be a
rewind button – not to relive moments, but to revisit them from time to time
and remember these exhaustingly beautiful days of raising my babies. How soft their skin is, how they fit on my
chest, how their eyes look at me as if I’m all they truly need in this big
world. Being their mom is the most
important work I will ever do and I don’t want to take a day of it for
granted.
