Bryson with his aunt BethanyOur little man is 16 months old today! I have always felt extremely blessed to have Bryson in our lives, but since Mac's death I have found that I have been holding him tighter and trying to cherish every single moment I have with him. Last night I went into his room while he was sleeping and picked him up and just held him for the longest time. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I thought about Josh and Cali and how their arms are empty. I thought about how Cali often wakes up in the middle of the night with the instinct to check on little Mac and hold him only to be tearfully reminded that he is not there. It just breaks my heart!
We really never know when our children might be taken from us. I hope we can all remember to cherish every moment we are blessed to spend with our children--tantrums and all. We can't ever take for granted the gift our children are to us. Find time to squeeze your children a little tighter today!
