HOLDING ON TO SUMMER

April 18, 2013

A couple of years ago I was with my seven children at the water park.  We spent a day each week going to Seven Peaks.  As I was surrounded by my busy children, I had one of the motherhood moments when you know that this day is special and won't last.  Nothing big happened, but we were all together having fun.  I had the thought of how short my time with them was and I just wanted to hold on to summer.  Summer is the time when the kids are yours.  You have a little more flexibility to be together.  Knowing this, I just have wanted to hold on to the summer of my life.  My children are growing up.  They will not be with me for long and I want to savor the time that I have with them.
