Has anyone seen my best friend? I sure miss him......

Maddison took this picture on my Birthday, and the Steelers were playing the Buc's, what a great day that was; A perfect Sunday.

It is moments like these that put everything we are going through in perspective. Moments where we get to just relax, breathe and just be. These moments are so few and only last for a short time anymore. I really miss my beer drinking, football watching buddy. We used to get so much time together. Time....is a luxury now.

We are on the downhill side of this huge roller coaster, only a short time of residency left to go. Did we make the right choice? Will it all be worth it in the end?

I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. However, it sometimes takes years to realize the reasoning.

Time, please slow down....

Time is precious-holding my daughter's small hand as we cross the street, reading books to my angels until my eyes are exhausted, snuggling with my baby in the rocking chair as she is drifting off to sleep, kissing her sweet little cheeks and praying she stays this small and amazing forever, coloring on the floor, tickling 4 little feet and hearing the laughter so pure, feeling how soft their skin is when I kiss their sweet faces goodnight, blowing raspberries on their bellies, watching Maddie teach Gabbie....these amazing moments I will cherish forever. I wish my little girls would stay small and protected forever and that time would just stop some days. It is just passing too fast.
