20 years…

I hate it when people say to cherish every moment when they are little, that it all goes by so fast and they won’t be little for very long.  Like, I REALLY hate it.  For starters, I do a very good job of living in the moment, thank you very much.  BUT, it also makes me feel like a sh$tty mom for the days/moments when I want to scream and run away.

But when I saw this picture today, my heart totally lurched.

I always joke about how they are going to outgrow me by the time they are 12, but this, oh my.  How she is looking up instead of down at her son.  And how she is holding on to the “baby”!

Dear Lord, please let them love me in 20 years as much as they do now.
