My sweet Taylor. Your heart amazes me. The amount of love. Forgiveness. Purity and hope. Everything you are is everything I want to be.
How is that? You are merely four and yet the wisdom you contain surpasses that of many I know.
I want to bottle up your sweetness. Lock it up and hold tight, ever so grippingly, to the key. I never want it to go. I never want to say goodbye.
The smile on your face when you realized Daddy’s trip away meant you got to have a special night snuggling in my bed, was a smile so full of love. Of adoration. Pure happiness. I want that.
The tenderness of your sweet tickles on my arm well before dawn, and the softness of your voice when you whispered…
“I love you so much mommy. I love this special time with you and I am so happy God gave you to me. I feel so much love for you in my heart.”
…I needed that.
You couldn’t see me, but warm tears fell from my sleepy eyes.
It was a softened moment, the kind that only happen between dreams and wakefulness, and one to be always etched on my soul for a lifetime.
I pray this heart of yours, the love you have, the forgiveness you extend, that it will remain always…you.
You are rare. You are that moment this morning. So pure, so sweet.
And in those moments, you prove to me, erasing all doubts that may have ever existed…that God is real. Moments like that, children like you, could never be anything less than a miracle from Him.
I love you Bubba, to heaven and back, I love you.
