I lived the best three hours today and I need to write about it. I need to know that they really happened and remember them later.
Today Madden and I went to the craft fair and then walked for an hour in the rain/ snow all over town perfectly happy and having a wonderful time. That's it. That is what I lived and I feel so lucky.
I am so aware of the passing of time and how fast my kids are growing up. I morn it frequently and I am terrified of when they do finally grow up and leave the house that a few hours like today felt like a gift when needed most.
He will be ten next month and there are so many things that he has outgrown, while we were walking on the sidewalk and he was talking about his plans to do somethings I was able to just be there with him and laugh and talk and plan.
We weren't ice-climbing or skiing or climbing a mountain or doing any of those things we normally do we were walking down the street, wet and happy.
