Yeah, I wish time would tick a little slower
Sometimes it feels like I blink and then it’s over
Better soak it in, better make it last
Live it up while we can ’cause the good times go by too fast
~Dylan Scott
Looking through some pictures of my babies, today, and it makes me wonder where all the time has gone. That first one is from when Adam was in the hospital. He had gotten a terrible infection, in his hand. He ended up having to have emergency surgery. The surgeon told us he was just hours from losing his whole hand. Adam spent days in intensive care. He came home with a port that was used to inject antibiotics directly into his system, daily, for several weeks. That was a very scary and stressful time, for everyone. The second one is Wyatt, standing inside his daddy’s boots. The third picture is sweet Mikayla, at around eight years old. Last, but not least, is our baby, Mj. We sure have made a whole lot of memories. Even the toughest times, looking back, don’t seem so bad. We’ve always managed to find reasons to smile together, no matter what’s happening around us. I’ve been so blessed to have my healthy and happy children, and to be able to give them a good childhood.
Last night, as I got undressed for my bath, Adam walked into our bathroom. He gave my naked behind a little smack, as I leaned over to adjust the water temperature. When I spun around to face him, he pulled me close, and kissed me. We had sex before my bath. Then again, inside the shower. And once more, when we went to bed.
This Thanksgiving break has been relaxing, restful, and memorable. All of the moments we’ve captured in time, through pictures and video, will soon be memories I smile back on, when I find myself looking back through them, just like the ones I shared today. We’re always making history. Everyday, we’re creating memories that we’ll treasure forever. Whether we document them with photos, or simply inside our mind, they’ll be there. I’ll remember them and wonder, where did the time go? Just as I did today.
