Good morning readers & happy Monday. This past week was busy & full of fun. We spent some time celebrating Logan being 11 months old. We also enjoyed a wonderful night at the Rockets vs. Miami Heat basketball game & my 10 year high school reunion. It's been 10 years? I feel so old.
As our sweet baby boy Logan approaches being a year old I have such a range of emotions. This past week we suffered the loss of a wonderful sister in Christ & fellow basketball wife. She has a husband & 2 children that she leaves behind & I just cried & held Logan during nap time. I have actually spent the week reminiscing over when my sweet boy was born, when he was so small, & my husband & I shared some fun memories of being first time parents. Actually, it was more like laughing at ourselves.
We spent an enormous amount of time this week smothering our baby boy. And I don't use that term lightly. :) I held, kissed, & rocked my baby boy more this week than I have in months! It made me feel happy & sad, all at the same time.
It took a loss for me to be reminded about how precious holding my baby boy is. How spending time with those we love is so special. I was reminded that we never know when our time here on earth is finished & we need to cherish every moment we have like it was the last day.
My heart got a little softer this week for people. My smile got a little brighter & my hugs got a little tighter. I was reminded this week through tragedy that I am blessed to wake up & see another day next to the best husband & almost one year old alive!!
My heart is full, even though it's also heavy. I am praying everyday that God grants me more time with my baby boy & husband. I pray that I take advantage of this gift daily.
