If I Could Turn Back Time

I would multiply and hold onto precious moments spent with you a little bit longer…

Time is so much more fleeting than we realize.

I wasn’t ready for you to marry and start a family of your own.  I knew it would change our relationship and I’ve never been very good at sharing…

If I’m honest… I grieved a little, okay a lot.

I thought maybe there wouldn’t be any more precious moments for us…

But then your son was born and you allowed me to be there in the delivery room to share in your joy, and it was an amazing experience.

Lil girl, you now have a lil girl too, and perhaps one day you will know exactly how I feel?

I will forever remember fondly our week long camping trip, just us girls and how you gleefully hopped us every chance you got in the Trouble game.

A college visit home when the house was full and we said you would bunk with us, only to watch you run and hop right in the middle of our king size bed laughing as you staked your claim on mattress space.

You were always an imp!

A full week of just you and me time when you were a teenager will always be special to my heart. Chicken Caesar Salad please (No Ladybugs)

Time and space separate us presently and it’s hard to partake in each other’s lives…

But I know going forward that our moments, when we can manage them, will be different…but no less precious.

Living in the Moment

The absence of time against my pulsing

wrist is so curious to me…

 

Though nearly a year has passed the

delineations that mark its vacancy are

present still.

 

At first it was my plan to replace the

savvy trinket that has long fostered

the illusion of control over the hours passing…

 

But…life happened… as often it does, and I have

found myself instead re-defining my relationship

with time

Cheers team tiny peppers it’s Nano Poblano day 28. I have been using photos as prompts.  These roses were given with love, dried with care, and photographed to capture the memory and the essence. I think they are nearly as lovely dried as they were when purchased and gifted. When I look at this photo I am filled with love and gratitude for the gift of love in my life.  That’s it for today…. see you all again tomorrow.
