This Moment

This past weekend I know of three children who lost their life. A four month old, three year old and a thirteen year old. I am sure there are many more who died as well. In eight days not counting today it will be two years to the day I found out my sweet innocent Natalia had died, she didn't even get to take a breath outside of my womb. 

So if you are expecting, enjoy it. Yes it's hard but trust me it could be worse. If you have a child hold them tight. While you expect to outlive your child the truth is every day is a gift. For you and for them. They can be taken at any moment from you and you can be taken from them. 

Learn to live life to its fullest. Don't put off what you can do today for tomorrow. Unless it's cleaning. Cleaning can wait if it means taking the time to chase your kids. I won't lie I don't clean as much as I'd like and while it drives me crazy I am lucky it means extra time with Aaliyah and Melody. Yes I do need to get things more organized but as I type this Melody is laying next to me in the rock and play sleeping. Aaliyah is sitting between my legs.  Would I change it only if it meant Natalia would be here with us.  

This moment only comes once in your life so love it, live it and enjoy it to its fullest.  Turn those moments into memories that last a lifetime.
