Capture the moment

Lately I have been in a mild panic about how to remember each moment with Sydney and Adam and how I felt. I have trouble remembering a lot of things. Maybe nothing meant as much as this and it will be different. I want to be able to close my eyes and feel the same feelings I felt as I held her on the airplane coming home. Or how it feels right now with her on my shoulder as I type. Her little head resting against my cheek. I can smell her baby shampoo. It feels like time is going by so fast. I can't think of anything else we can do enjoy these moments. We take pictures and video. I write on the blog. Most importantly we take time to just cuddle her and look at her. I don't think these are things I could ever forget. Maybe I didn't bother keeping all the detailed memories about track meets, movies, concerts, geography (that is meant to make Adam laugh), etc. because I somehow knew I needed room for more important memories. I might even forget what I just wrote to make room for that sweet little sigh she just gave.

Aunt Cindy here..
I don't have children of my own, but I can still remember how it felt to hold you and Stewart when you were little. Sometimes I just take a mental picture of a scene I want to remember and it seems to work. When I hold her, I feel connected to her and to you and Adam, and the whole family. I have learned that Time does move on, but that memories and love are ours forever.

There is nothing like that little one on your shoulder. I saw her looking for you just the other day and she smiled when she saw her Mama. There will be many more of those memories. Even when she grows up - like when she looks at her baby one day- I will always have that memory of you holding and caring for her.
Love you
mom
