Minutes to Spare

Right now I feel like I need a day where I can catch up. A day where I can discuss my state of mind, and the absolute beautiful journey that is motherhood. I desire to go on and on about my perfect little baby girl and the happenings of our life together. I want to explain everything my heart feels and release all my emotions out here in front of me, open for anyone to read. But time is not on my side. For now, I just want to say this:

There was a moment when you came and laid down next to me on the floor and I stared into your eyes. Our daughter lay asleep in her crib, and we whispered to each other. A sudden fear swept me, and then was quickly consumed by a rush of unwavering love that I have quietly reserved for you. I heard our daughter sigh as I studied your face. If I had an ounce of artistic talent, I could close my eyes and draw you perfectly from memory. I didn't want to move. I just wanted to freeze time, staring at you forever and listening to Alexis breathe. I don't want to let us go.

God made me out a certain type of armor. This I'm sure.
