Life is too precious to just let pass without stopping by and
taking time to notice the wonder of it. We all take for granted something.
Did you ever wonder how Ms. Jumbo, from "Disney's Dumbo felt,
when
she was put in the cage for protecting her child?"
Have you ever been in a hurry, or trying to do something that
you feel you dont have time to have fun doing, enjoy someone's company, or play?
Have you hugged your child lately or told them that you love them?
What if you couldn't be with them, when you needed them the most.
What if they were right there for you to touch, and you choose not to embrace them?
My Son Nicholas, was born unexpectedly 4 weeks early.
Placed on my belly for a few moments to cut the cord.
Took him to check his stats, and wrapped him. Handed him to my
husband and I for less then a Minute, and then took him to the nursery.
Then he was placed under a Oxygen bubble and hooked up to a monitor.
The next day he was transfered to the NICU to be monitored more closely
and put on a Ventilator.
On August 11, 2001 for the first time since that one moment after birth.
I got to hold my -cute as can be Baby of Mine-.
For 5 days I had him in my reach, touching him, loving him,
"Giving everything just for the right to hold him." Yet I couldn't.
Why not remember the one's you love. Hold them close, and give them a hug.
Tell them you love them as much as you can. What would you do if you couldn't
hold the ones you love? Cherish the moments you have. Its to precious not to.
