I’m hugging you now. Maybe holding on should really be the word. I know you could sleep without me carrying you in my arms and rocking you gently. But. Let me do this now. Let me do this for those times I wasn’t able to do this.
As you lay here in my arms, sleeping -and me, trying to maintain my balance, I cannot believe that there were times when I had wished that you could go to sleep on your own. I will not deny of those times I had longed for the moment to come when all I have to do is put you on bed.
It has come. Now is that time. And just when I have what I longed for, sadly, I keep on wishing to turn back the hands of time to when we can both go to sleep, tummy to tummy, chest to chest. Time to when I can feel the beats of your heart synchronizing with mine.
You are growing up so fast so let me just hold you now - before you leap to teen-dom with a blink of an eye.

I almost want to cry…
That is such a beautiful post… {{{sigh}}}.
I hope you saved a copy to show your little one when they grow up.
Blessings!

First- I love your new site! Amazing job!!
Second- what a beautiful post! You made me cry. I know sometimes I wish Hailey would just lay in her bed and go to sleep all by herself. Then, other times when I am rocking her I look at her beautiful face and think, “They’re only little once and it goes so quickly.”
