Today is a bit of a serious one that is going to touch all of our hearts. Very sadly, a friend had to say goodbye to her 3 year old son yesterday after he spent his life suffering from numerous known and unknown illnesses. Understandably, she is devastated as the reality sinks in that she will never hold her baby boy again, never hear his laugh or hear the words “I love you Mummy” come out of his precious little mouth. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this truly tragic time in their lives.
This heartache has really put life into perspective for me and got me thinking about my own children. I have realised that I need to spend less time doing things and spend much much more of my day experiencing things with Sophie and Elliott. Folding the washing can wait, vacuuming the floor can wait, all the necessary but time consuming chores can wait. I feel like I am forever telling Sophie “In a minute” or “Just after I finish this” but of course, that time never comes. I am absolutely going to change the way I operate and spend significantly more quality time with my kids. After all, we are never going to get this time back.
So right now, right this very minute, stop what you are doing, get up and go spend time with your children. Hug them, tell them you love them, laugh with them and savour the moment. Life is precious xox
