Please don’t forget

During the haste of the Holiday season, this is the reason I blog.

Please, fine memory of mine don’t forget these moments. With the room lit by the Christmas tree, Mikayla toddled up to Mallory with a book in her hand, she turned around, backed up towards Mallory and sat down. Mallory giggled and said “Sure I’ll read to you! Even though I can’t read the words…”

They read, they smiled, they giggled. My heart swelled.

Why Do I blog?

Welcome. Why do I blog? I blog for my two little girls so that when I am long gone, soaking up guilt-free sun rays, laying on a big fluffy cloud up in Heaven, they can remember. They can remember the simple things. The little things. Those things that are small to everyone else, but mighty to this mommy's heart. I want my children to know that not only the major milestones were remembered, but also the little milestones. Her first bike ride, her first bee sting, the first time she planted seeds in the garden. They will both know, not only were they loved deeply, but also the magnitude of that depth. Why not just journal? Because part of me hopes that in my day to day writing, someone out there in this mighty World can relate. Can relate to one little thing that runs through all of us--the desire to remember the times that made us laugh, smile, cry and most importantly, treasure our loved ones.
