I read this quote on my friend Natalie's blog. She was talking about why she spent time blogging. I loved it!!! Thanks Natalie for reminding me about why I spend time
right here on my behind at my computer.... life has some great moments to be remembered. My little boys have made my life so much more than I ever thought it could be. I know I will look back at some of these things and laugh and miss my little guys as they grow up. I wish I could keep them little forever....... but Colton reminded me yesterday that he was going to be gone in a couple years. Yep that is right a couple years - WHAT!!!! This is how the conversation went.
Colton: "Hey mom, do you know that you only have a couple years left with me in the house."
Mom: "What, why? You are only 11!"
Colton: "Well, I'm almost 12 and once I get my drivers license I won't be home in the day I'll be out driving."
Mom: "Hmmmmm is that right???"
Colton: "Yep I can't wait to get my own car."
Mom: "You are going to get your own car?" :O)
Yes - I just let him day dream on that thought a little. No need to crush his dreams yet..... :O)
You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences.
