I woke up last night, gasping for air, trying to slow down time, realizing my baby was going to be 4. Crawling into bed with her as she slept sound, trying to hold her close and somehow inhale the youth and love and beauty of the moment. I remember her first cry and hello to the physical world, her breath on my cheek for the first time. Holding her, nursing her, crying when she rolled over the first time, yelling for joy at her first steps. The amazement at every new word and discovery. The exhaustion. The laughter. The pure joy that can only be contained and given by the perfection of a moment in time. And now in a blink of an eye she is 4. My how these 4 years have flown by with a ferocious flurry of change. Every moment is breath taking it is almost too much to take in. Because in every moment I know it is fleeting. I love you my darling baby girl. I know the next 4 years, 12 years, 24 years will go just as fast--may I always be present in the moment with you and remember these moments. I love you. Happy Birthday.
