You think you'll remember every detail.

Every cute little mannerism. every funny quip. all the little things that each child does to make her uniquely who she is. to make her stand out among the other little ones that run around your home.


Afterall, the days feel soooo long. How could you possibly forget what you spend the entirely of your every day doing?

But the truth?

At least in this house... I have trouble remembering which girl did what thing. Was it Charis that said that? Or was that Selah? Was Raegan the one that made us laugh...or was it Charis?

It's a sad feeling to know that, in truth, you couldn't identify the cute little person behind the memorable act if your life depended on it.

And that is why I write. To remember.

And today, I want to remember the fact that my little Selah bug is our cuddler. On any given day...in fact several times every day...she asks me to snuggle with her.

And then she proceeds to curl up beside me. or on top of me. Whatever suits her current mood.
Sometimes she curls into my neck and hangs on tight. Sometimes she just wants to sit for a matter of seconds, before she gets up to show me her newest dance move.

She just wants my attention. my undivided attention. And today, when I gave it to her, she whispered, "Tell me how much you love me."

These are the days that I never want to forget. And I pray, my sweet sweet Selah, that you never forget how much I love you....

"To the moon. To the sun. and to heaven. And then back again." (her answer to how much she loved me.)
