Lately I've been enjoying Tyler's company more regularly since his schedule this semester is rather lighter than it has been in the past. One day on the way to an event, we were running late and, in my haste, I expressed distaste without thinking as I glanced at myself in the visor mirror. Tyler immediately expressed his love for me, and said, "Mom, you're beautiful. Besides, it's the inside that matters most." Although it wasn't said with this intent, it was a sweet reminder to me that although I was in a hurry, my behavior was most important in the moment.
Lately I've been acutely aware that with Bryon's Senior year in high school fast approaching, and Tyler following close behind, children are only children in our care for just moments...and then they're gone. What a blessing to enjoy them while that time is ours! I hope to take advantage of every opportunity!
