As these special days of the year pass us by, I find myself wanting to hold on just a litle bit longer. I want to linger in the love and light, and etch in my mind the memory of those faces, voices and the hearts behind them in this moment of each of their lives.

I found myself wishing these every same things last night as I relaxed on the couch taking in everything around me. My heart ached a little knowing I would never see Christmas through the eyes of my youngest, my four year old again (next year he'll be five!). And the Christmases when he was three and two.....they seem like just yesterday. My heart ached a little more today when it all came down because it was just a few minutes ago that it all went up with such a great joy and anticipation of this wonderful season. I am so blessed to take with me these photographs and wonderful memories of the best days of my life. Each year, as they grow older and I grow older, I find myself just wanting to hold on so tightly to these precious times and never let go.
