Old Pictures

Looking back at old pictures of my kids. I get a yearning feeling to reach into the computer keel down on my knees look into my daughter eyes and tell her "I've seen the future baby and its not all fun and games. It's a tough world out there and there so much pain. Let me hold you forever and pray you never grow." 

Motherhood is not easy. Raising a young girl and preparing her for the world is the biggest most difficult job any woman will face. Sometimes I wish I could turn back times and turn my 16 year old back to my little 7 year old who had no knowledge of pain and difficulties. 

Don't rush your kids; allow them to take their time, watch them grow slowly bc one day, they'll be grown and won't remember those moments when they called you "Mommy" and came running to you with every need/want and desire. 

I see people who are just getting started with their families and think to myself how much they have to learn. Mine are 16 and 9. Luckily I have a 9 year old and I tell you, everyday I look into his eye, his cute little face and thank God that his still little and I get to hold him in my arms. Bc the day will come where he too will drift away.
