The other night my daughter and I were embraced in a nice tight hug. Sometimes you can tell when kids are 'humoring you' and cannot wait to end the interaction. This was not one of those times. She said, "I wish we could stay like this forever". So true those words were for me too. I know that one day the hugs will be swifter, fewer and not as generous....but I have hope. Things change, people change, so being in the moment really does keep me centered sometimes. It is almost like a mini meditation with my children....deep hug, deep breaths, all is good.
