The Best Things

September 5, 2017 by Bee Filed Under: Boy Mom, Deep Thoughts, Family, Life Lessons, Love and Loss, Month of Prayers, Parenting

You came down after I’d put you to bed last night and asked me if I had seen the moon.  I hadn’t and we went out front, you in your jammies, and we looked up at the beautiful, full moon.  I put my arm around you and you then put your little arm around my back as far as it would go.  You wanted to share a special thing that you saw with me and I wanted to lay down in that moment forever.

I pictured you undoing all the tucking in and moving of precious stuffed animals so that you could pull back your curtains and stare out the window in your new room.  And then in complete excitement, running down to get me to share in it.

That’s how I feel every day.  So excited to share in this life with you.  Almost in disbelief that I get to love you for my life and beyond.  The way you love me has changed me in so many ways and filled me with all I need.  I pray that my love for you will always give you strength and peace.

My prayers change daily for you.  Most often they are just of thanks.  Thankful for your smile, your love, your laugh, your love of your family, your sensitive heart.

Thank you for coming down after bed last night my angel.  It woke my heart up to remember to be so thankful, so grateful, and completely in this moment of time with you.

You are all the best things.

-Month of Prayers

    I think in the moments of loss and grief we are given the gift of sight, if we choose to take it. The gift of knowing that all our time is fleeting and now is the time to relish in all of the simple moments, to really live in those special individual moments and just be, is a super power on it’s own. My Friend, I am so grateful that you are a soul that sees the magic of these times, this is so touching and so powerful! oxox
