So you know that moment that overcomes you when you realize this is what life is all about…
and the sunset is somehow painting a breathtaking backdrop for this epic moment…
when your son runs up to you holding a fistful of otherwise weeds, but today – precious flowers - as you happen to be holding your camera for a completely different purpose…
and love overwhelms you so much you could cry…
that the little boy you carried for months and months and months is still here today…
bringing you more joy than you ever imagined possible… smiles… a glimpse of what you lost…
and a glimpse of more to come.
Some moments in life are truly perfect.
I sat in wonder after this little boy made me smile inside and out. I watched him play to his little heart’s content in the backyard this evening. He kept babbling about airplanes, ants (he calls everything ants these days), and rocks.
He pointed out the peeking moon once or twice. My heart is so full.
I wondered how I got from there to here. I’ve been spilling so many details about the events over the past three years concerning both my babies birth stories for the book. So much rehashed. So much fresh on my heart. So much I can still remember, and so much I’d honestly like to forget sometimes.
But the memories linger on for purpose. They bring me to this place of complete wonder that makes me love life even more. Love the little moments like crumpled flowers, quick hugs and giving in to holding my son’s hand when he is lying next to me, half awake, at five in the morning after daddy leaves for work.
How beautifully you capture the emotion by words!! Love the style of your emotional narrating.
Best wishes for you & your son :-)
