the present.


yesterday i heard this song and read the story of little Ronan.
and in light of 9/11 today, i'm definitely holding my baby boy tighter.
don't take time with loved ones for granted.
be present in every moment, every day.

"you will never have this day with your children again. tomorrow, they’ll be a little older than they were today. this day is a gift. breathe and notice. smell and touch them; study their faces and little feet and pay attention. relish the charms of the present. enjoy today, mama. it will be over before you know it." -jen hatmaker

    So sweet! Yes, I think I need to be constantly reminded of just how precious the time is with my little ones. :)
