I just read that quote. I actually found it on someone else's blog and thought I needed to share it with everyone who follows my blog. It really is a profound quote. Before having Addison, I wouldn't have thought it was *that* great. But, this past year has gone by so fast...
I remember the night that Addison was exactly one week old. Cody was gone on a hunting trip. Addison wouldn't sleep and I had not had much sleep the previous week. I was so tired and I just remember sitting in the rocking chair, rocking and rocking and rocking and rocking. Nothing would get her to stop crying. And soon, I was crying too, looking forward to the day when she would start sleeping all night long. That day came very quickly....and each new day seems to pass faster and faster. Yesterday, she didn't even want me to hold her...she wanted down so she could practice her newly learned walking (Yes, Walking!) skills.
Today, Addison is sick. And sicky days always make me feel "Blah." Yet, today, I'm going to remember to be happy for this moment. This moment, that she wants me to hold her and cuddle her, even if it means that I won't get much of anything else done. Because, soon, she will be off to school...going on her first date...getting married. So, for today, I will cherish this moment. Because, this moment is my life. And what a wonderful life it is!
