If I could bottle a memory to replay over and over again, especially when I'm older and life slows down...


It would have to be the still and peaceful feeling of rocking Clair after she has finished her bottle and she is zonked out on my shoulder. Her little body is nestled totally into mine, as they meld together like a perfect picture. I listen to her steady breath as she snuggles close to my ear. I rest my check on her warm little soft cheek and I just take a deep breath! It is amazing. It is the best part of life. It is the ability to comfort my child and make her completely happy. It is a feeling and a blessing we have for such a short time in our lives. I pray to always remember this feeling, this experience, this love and this contentment. My daughter’s smell after a bath and a bottle – a mix of clean and fed – a little soar, just slightly from the milk still on her lips or cheek – but wonderful.
I need to spend more time just being with my children. They are such wonderful gifts from God!

I love you Ellie, Max and Clair.
