Once


Four of my most favorite people in the world!
I wish I could stop time and just live like this forever.  I know that this time is fleeting and I labeled this Once for a reason.  This time is happening only once.  Once upon a time when my children were small and thought that I was important and wanted to be with me.  Once upon a time when I could kiss it better or hug it better and put a band-aid on it.  Once upon a time when I actually did have almost all of the answers.  Once upon a time when I had a huge and immediate impact and influence.  Once upon a time when being together was way better then anything or one else out there.  Once upon a time when I could really mess up and say sorry and truely be forgiven and events forgotten.  Once upon a time when they wanted to walk with me and hold my hand.  Once upon a time when they liked to dress like me and do make up like me and tell all of their stories to me....even the really long dreams that never end.  I hope this story ends in happy ever after but right now I'm enjoying the beginning!

Love it! I'm in the part of the story where it's "sometimes" they like to tell me, and walk with me...I'm enjoying that part too!

Oh that made me cry. I feel like that too. It feels like a magical time and I worry all the time if I'm appreciating it enough or listening enough or holding on to it enough. I like "when being together is better than anyone else out there." I also like the line about the dreams--I hear dreams that never end all the time. "You have to go to school now--tell me the rest of that dream when you get home."

You are so sweet! What a good mommy you are to those 4 BEAUTIFUL kids. I love them as my own and know exactly how you feel. I have wanted to freeze time for the last 6 years, which means I have loved every minute. I guess this is a good sign, and hopefully thing are always this good, jsut different!!
