Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles
In laughter, in strife
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure a year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love...
Seasons of LOVE
As I sit here writing this post, tears are flowing as I think of how much love I have for our sweet little Cash. This past year, Jeff and I have both learned so much from Cash and from each other and I know that we are forever changed by this amazingly wonderful experience called parenthood. We have so many things to be thankful for and so many reasons to smile every single day because of one little boy that arrived into this world on May 12, 2011 at 9:10am. Just yesterday while we were out with Cash, we had three different people tell us "not to blink" and that "it will all go by so fast." I know that Jeff and I cannot believe that a year has gone by...we do not think people realize just how fleeting time really is until you have a child. We are amazed every single day by something new that Cash does or how quickly he can master things. I know that I personally have done my best to slow down and enjoy the little things...for these little things ARE the big things in life. I take each smile, slobbery kiss, squeeze hug, giggle, clap, step and try to file them into my memory so I will be able to replay them in the future. And each day when I get to rock Cash to sleep, I take in every moment and know that I have been blessed to be called mommy by this lil man. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes...and all it took was one of those for that little boy to steal my heart forever.
Happy birthday, Cash Albert...mommy and daddy love you so very much!
