Today I took Maggie and my Mom to the Greek Festival for some yummies. As my Mom and I walked, Maggie ran ahead. I watched her run and it floored me how much she has grown. She no longer has any baby in her. It is all girl! Tonight when I checked in on her while she was sleeping, I noticed it again. That little baby I held in my arms is now a beautiful young girl.
Tonight I woke Ricks up to change a stinky diaper. After I finished he was leaning against the couch. All of the sudden there was no baby in him either. He didn't even look like a toddler. He looked like a big boy. When did all of this growing happen? It was just yesterday I held him in my arms the night he was born. Time is flying by so fast.
Soon I will look at them and they will be grown up. In a blink of an eye they will be adults making their own choices and following their dreams. So I store away my memories and say a prayer for each of them. May God be their guide and hold them safe and close.
