It's The Little Things

It's moments such as these that, when we look back on, we cherish and hold close to our hearts. It isn't the big grand events that we reflect on and wish to feel again, but all the quiet shared moments that we stitch together and call "life". I'm grateful for all the beautiful shared moments that I never realized meant to much to me until now.

Thank you for taking this journey with me, my beautiful and wonderful daughter. My life is fuller and better because of you.

Little things used to mean so much to Shelly- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.

Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.
