\"Kids<\/div>\n

We have lots of wishes and hopes for our children. Wishes of great things for them in life. As parents, we also have wishes and hopes of things that will end. Now, these aren\u2019t wishes for our children but wishes for us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Do you hope…<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • for the day you no longer have to change diapers?<\/li>\n
  • for your child to start talking so you know all their needs and wants and no longer have to guess?<\/li>\n
  • that your child could walk so you no longer have to carry them everywhere?<\/li>\n
  • for the night where your child sleeps through so you no longer have to get up and you get a full nights sleep?<\/li>\n
  • for summer to be over so the kids go back to school because they are driving you nuts!?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Do you find you are wishing your life moments away?<\/p>\n

    What happens when these wishes do<\/em> come true? Because they will\u2026 will you wish for them back? I do.<\/p>\n

    Life goes by so, so fast. \u00a0In a blink of an eye 20 years seems to pass. Every year I always say, \u201cthis year went by so fast, where did the time go?\u201d This means that our babies grow quickly. There is no way of stopping this or slowing it down but you can be more present.<\/p>\n

    How to be in the Moment<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Parenting is hectic and at times chaos is everywhere. So how do you slow down and live in the moment? Here are a few suggestions that I am trying to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Put your phone down (I know for some of you this will be difficult)<\/li>\n
    • Watch your children play. Stop what you are doing and just watch. Listen to their cute, sweet voices, watch the way they move and ingrain this in your memory or better yet, take some pictures and video.<\/li>\n
    • Don’t say “no” as often. My kids think my only job is to play with them 24\/7. Prioritize what is most important at that time. Does folding the laundry outweigh playing with your children? Some days it may but not all the time.<\/li>\n
    • When they want to talk to you listen. Clear your mind and focus on what they are saying. One day they may not want to talk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      One day five years ago, I was sitting in a parking lot waiting to go into work. I was listening to the radio and the DJ read a poem. It was about never knowing when it will be your child’s last time of doing something. I started sobbing. At the time my daughter was 4 years old and some of the things in the poem I had experienced.<\/p>\n

      The poem was Let Me Hold You Longer\u00a0<\/em>by Karen Kingsbury. It will tug at your heart strings. Grab a box of tissues before you start reading it. I cry, no I sob, every time I read it.<\/p>\n

      \"graduation<\/p>\n

      I do hope the poem helps you to slow down a bit and enjoy every season of your child\u2019s life, no matter how difficult that time may be for you. You can never go back and redo it so embrace all that it is and enjoy it!<\/p>\n

      Let Me Hold You Longer<\/span><\/h3>\n

      by Karen Kingsbury<\/p>\n

      Long ago you came to me, a miracle of firsts:
      \nFirst smiles and teeth and baby steps,
      \na sunbeam on the burst.
      \nBut one day you will move away
      \nand leave to me your past,
      \nAnd I will be left thinking of a lifetime of your lasts . . .<\/p>\n

      The last time that I held a bottle
      \nto your baby lips.
      \nThe last time that I lifted you
      \nand held you on my hip.
      \nThe last night when you woke up crying,
      \nneeding to be walked,
      \nWhen last you crawled up with your blanket,
      \nwanting to be rocked.<\/p>\n

      The last time when you ran to me,
      \nstill small enough to hold.
      \nThe last time that you said you\u2019d marry
      \nme when you grew old.
      \nPrecious, simple moments and
      \nbright flashes from your past \u2013
      \nWould I have held on longer if
      \nI\u2019d known they were your last?<\/p>\n

      Our last adventure to the park,
      \nyour final midday nap,
      \nThe last time when you wore your favorite
      \nfaded baseball cap.
      \nYour last few hours of kindergarten,
      \nthose last days of first grade.
      \nYour last at bat in Little League,
      \nlast colored picture made.
      \nI never said good-bye to all
      \nyour yesterdays long passed.<\/p>\n

      So what about tomorrow \u2013 will I recognize your lasts?<\/p>\n

      The last time that you catch a frog
      \nin that old backyard pond.
      \nThe last time that you run barefoot
      \nacross our fresh-cut lawn.
      \nSilly, scattered images
      \nwill represent your past.
      \nI keep on taking pictures,
      \nnever quite sure of your lasts . . .<\/p>\n

      The last time that I comb your hair
      \nor stop a pillow fight.
      \nThe last time that I pray with you
      \nand tuck you in at night.
      \nThe last time when we cuddle
      \nwith a book, just me and you.
      \nThe last time you jump in our bed
      \nand sleep between us two.<\/p>\n

      The last piano lesson,
      \nlast vacation to the lake.
      \nYour last few weeks of middle school
      \nlast soccer goal you make.
      \nI look ahead and dream of days
      \nthat haven\u2019t come to pass.
      \nBut as I do, I sometimes miss
      \ntoday\u2019s sweet, precious lasts . . .<\/p>\n

      The last time that I help you with
      \na math or spelling test.
      \nThe last time when I shout that yes,
      \nyour room is still a mess.
      \nThe last time that you need me for
      \na ride from here to there.
      \nThe last time that you spend the night
      \nwith your old tattered bear.<\/p>\n

      My life keeps moving faster,
      \nstealing precious days that pass.
      \nI want to hold on longer \u2013 want to recognize your lasts . . .<\/p>\n

      The last time that you need my help
      \nwith details of a dance.
      \nThe last time that you ask me for
      \nadvice about romance.
      \nThe last time that you talk to me
      \nabout your hopes and dreams.
      \nThe last time that you wear a jersey
      \nfor your high school team.<\/p>\n

      I\u2019ve watched you grow and barely noticed
      \nseasons as they pass.
      \nIf I could freeze the hands of time,
      \nI\u2019d hold on to your lasts.<\/p>\n

      For come some bright fall morning,\u00a0you\u2019ll be going far away.<\/p>\n

      College life will beckon
      \nin a brilliant sort of way.
      \nOne last hug, one last good-bye,
      \none quick and hurried kiss.
      \nOne last time to understand
      \njust how much you\u2019ll be missed.
      \nI\u2019ll watch you leave and think how fast
      \nour time together passed.<\/p>\n

      Let me hold on longer,
      \nGod, to every precious last.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Wipe away those tears and go hold your child. I would love to hear how this poem touches you. Please leave a comment.<\/p>\n
