One Certain Thing....When Things Are Always Changing

As Ava rolls and rolls across my bed doing her "exercises", I am reminding myself that soon these moments will be gone forever. I can remember silly nights like this with Josie. Seems that little girl was always jumping and running around this room at night. Taking a bath with her awake was next to impossible. She loved to practically do everything for me, but dive in herself! It seems like these days there just isn't enough time for me to spend with each of my girls. I know Josie still wants that one on one time with me, and I need to find a way to make more time for that. Soon, I know Ava will be Josie's age and I will be wondering what in the world happened to my "little" girls. I am realizing more and more everyday how quickly life passes and that there is very little in this world we can count on. Nothing stays the same and very little lasts forever. I hope my girls always know they have me forever and my love for them will last. No matter what happens, I can be certain of that, I will always be their mommy and they will always be my babies. Now for few of my favorites of them......

"You said to lean on your arm
And I am leaning
You said to trust in your love
And I am trusting
You said to call on your name
And I am calling
I'm stepping out on your word."

This is a song written my Maya Angelou. I really love it. It reminds me of my girls and me. I think my trust and my word is the greatest gift I can give them.
