Today I Cherish


In a year from now, this grainy picture will show up on Timehop 
and my heart will ache.

I will ache at how fast time went by and how long ago it seems she was this little.

My arms will ache to have her curl up in them like she does so easily.

My eyes will yearn to stare at the beautiful slate blue color of her eyes for hours a day.

My nose will so badly want to smell the yummy scent of her newborn skin again.

My fingers will ache to be able to caress her fine hair and squish her thighs again.

My cheeks will want to be sore again from smiling at her every time she looked at me.

My lips will ache to kiss her tiny newborn toes and fingers.

My soul will ache to be able to calm her in a second with just my voice or touch.

My heart will ache for it all to come back again. 


So...  Today I cherish. 
I cherish every second and every minute with this beautiful little creature. 
Everything must come to an end, but not today. 
So... Today I cherish.

  2. Well that did me in! I feel the same way about my Tater. It just goes too fast and breaks my heart. I take him in every single day knowing I'll never ever get it back again. I'm glad you know it too so you don't take it for granted.
