Unseen Moments

I am sure that every mother can relate to this and this was an experience I had last night that I just couldn't not share.

Each day with Connor brings new memories and new challenges and my love for him grows more and more each day. It's amazing. The day he was born I thought "I didn't know I was capable of loving someone so much." This loves grows beyond anything describable every day!

Connor and I spend a lot of time together and I wouldn't trade it for anything...well...maybe a weekend at the spa :) ! Last night Connor and I had a moment that made my heart feel so warm and those that love me and Connor should be able to share in this little moment....this is why I blog.

Yesterday was a rough day...emotionally. So by 8pm I was ready for Connor to go to bed and I was going with him. This tends to be more our routine these days. So we laid down in his comfy big boy bed and did our usual hugs and kisses and I turned over to rest so he'd go to sleep. About five minutes later, he says "mommy look at me," so of course I obliged. He snuggled up right to my face and noticed that I had a tear coming down my cheek (like I said, yesterday was a hard day). My little sidekick wiped my tear and said "mommy don't be sad, we'll hold hands." So he grabbed my hand, held it tight and proceeded to drift off to dreamland. Luckily he fell asleep quickly because of course after that interaction the tears flowed like Niagara Falls. What a precious, precious child that God has made and the best part is that God is allowing me and Hagie to raise him! I hope I never forget what it felt like to hold his little hand and drift off to sleep.
