I’ll soak up the hugs and kisses and I love yous. The baby smells. The baby breathing.
You’re small now. One day you’ll be big. You’ll no longer fit snugly into the corners of my lap.
One day isn’t here yet. Right now is. Each time I get to hold you. Feel you breathe against me. To know you’re safe. I’m taking those moments in. Being grateful.
Change is the inevitable way of life. Even in this moment we are both awash in it. We grow together. That’s the gift.
We’re here. But we’ve already traveled so far. Together. We’ll always be that way. Moving but also right here right now.
I love you my sweets.
