Remembering when

What will I remember after all my littles have grown and flown? Will I remember sweet baby sighs and tiny fingers? The long nights with a baby suffering its first tooth? The soft skin that begs to be smooshed? Quiet moments where only the soft snores of a sleeping baby can be heard? Sleepless nights caring for a baby with its first illness? The love for special blankets or stuffed animals? These are the days of babyhood trailing behind us leaving faint whispers of growing love. While the details may be lost from my memories I won’t forget the sweet feeling of loving a precious baby.
