It won't be like this for long

I have been listening to Darius Rucker and his song about how our kids grow up so quickly and how it won't be like this for long. My kids are still small, but I am amazed and almost saddened at how fast the time goes. With one of my sisters being newly pregnant and the other one just having had a baby, I can't help but think about how the last year has gone for me. Maleena is 6 months, Miguel is 3 and Trae is 6 yrs. old. It seems like I was just bringing Trae home from the hospital and struggling to figure out this phenomenon that is motherhood. I never would have predicted how glorious it would be, and how hard. There are days I wonder what I have gotten myself into,but those days seem to always be followed by a quick smile or hug from one of my kids and I am reassured as to why I became a mom. It is the greatest thing on Earth and I am excited for my sis Sharen and for my sister Tara as she is gearing up for another baby in her home. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of the good as we get through the bad.
