Precious Moments

I had a sweet, yet heart breaking moment with my girls last night.  I was reading Robert Munsch's "Love You Forever" book to Myka and Adri for bedtime. Toward the end of the book Adri made the comment that "the mommy won't be sick in Heaven, she'll be healthy." I was so proud that my little Adri had that understanding at 4 years old. Then when the book was over and I was kissing them goodnight Adri just starts sobbing. I laid back down by her and was trying to figure out what was wrong when she just kept saying "I don't want you to die mom, I don't want you to die!" It's making me cry just remembering it. Then Myka starts to sob and says through tears "I don't want you to die either mom. I want you to live forever. Don't grow old!" Well it only took me a second to realise what brought this on. My sweet little girls finally understood the ending of the book that we have read a hundred times and there I was holding my two sobbing angels who didn't want their mommy to grow old and die. Is there anything sweeter than knowing that your children love you that much? At the same time is there anything more heart breaking than knowing that that time will come when you can't hold them anymore? I love my family so much! They are everything to me. As I'm crying while I write this it simply reminds me that there is nothing more precious in this world that the love of your children. I love you Myka! I love you Adri! Thank you so much for loving me like I love you. You are my girls now and forever.

"I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my babies you'll be."
