If I needed any more proof at all that children are a gift from God, it came tonight while I was Skyping my cousins. My little cousin said: "In the summer days...we're going to...fly on a plane to somewhere, and then, and then take a train even further...and...come stay with you at your house."
I literally teared up. She's just...it's so sweet. I stood there for an hour talking to them. I left everything else behind. I stopped mid conversation on three different things and talked to my cousins, and I just....nothing mattered but those two sweet little children. At all. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Stories. Books. School. Friends. Enemies. Worries. Cares. Doubts. Fears. Nothing. Just those two, bright, shining faces, and the sense of joy that they would remember that chat. So rare and so beautiful. Treasure those moments....they don't last forever. I'm near crying right now because all I want is to see those sweet little faces again. To hug them and hold them close...but I'm eight hours away, with no money, no time, a life of my own to live, and no drivers license. So that moment will be special forever and ever, because it's so rare and so beautiful.
Stay awesome, everyone, hold onto the small moments.
~Cecilie.
