I wish for all of us, the gift of an ordinary day.
I love this video--it is so very true. A dear friend gave me the book for Mother's Day. It's an okay read, but I think I prefer hearing her speak. Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow! What a tear jerker.
ReplyDeleteI need to get off the computer and go talk to my girls!
I can't click on something that is promised to be a tear jerker!
ReplyDeleteBut I think about the passage of time a lot. And miss the babies that my kids were.
