On this day…
I want to remember the joy of baking French Toasts for the family, the way Mom used to make some for me when I was a kid. The «hmmm this is so good» from the girls, and from Chéridoo. The pleasure of making something instead of going for the easy way.
I want to remember that first, there was my husband and I as a couple, then we created a family. I want to remember the joy of staying a bit longer than usual in bed on a weekend, just to cuddle with that part of my Soul living in his body. The whispers. The «I love you-s».
I want to remember the joy the girls have when they play together. This is when I am happy we decided to have two babies, close in age.
I want to remember that it’s okay not to work every single day or every single hour I am supposed to.
I want to remember the joy of being inside when it is pouring rain outside. Doing board games, watching a movie, and baking some sweet treats as a family. Remember that I do love the sound of the drops on our roof.
I want to remember that everything will come to me once ripe, that pushing it too much will just slow things down.
I want to remember that sometimes, all you can do is try your best. And it’s okay.
I want to remember that no matter what, Love will win.
What do you want to remember today ?
awwww, #2. i love the mornings i get to snuggle with my husband because the little kids are always on me it seems (though less and less, they are growing up, afterall) and the adult cuddle time is rare. but so cherished. i want to remember all the small moments, though. the laughter. the joy. the looks on my loved one’s faces. the hugs and snuggles and striped socks.
