Captured moments.
Life has much to do with captured moments. Whether these moments are captured in a photograph, a video, on paper, or in the memories made. Capturing a moment allows us to carry that moment with us...forever.
Our lives traverse the course of time, being filled with moments that begin to define us. We seek meaning from our moments and string them together to create our experience of the world, our experience of the life given to us.
The moments of our children's lives slip past us in the whirlwind of the every day. It's often said that "they grow up so fast". While this may seem to be the case it doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to pass in the blink of an eye. It doesn't have to feel like time has slipped away. Capture your moments.
Capture the hugs your child gives and take one more.
Capture the laughter your child boasts and fill your ears.
Capture the tears your child sheds and ease them away.
Capture the silent concentration your child exudes and sit in wonderment of the human mind.
Capture the compassion your child has and feel the emotions.
Capture the words your child speaks and fascinate in their wisdom.
Capture the essence of who they really are and nurture that no end.
As the SMA Community sits in contemplation of the passing of two children this week (Baby Luke; 6-months old and young Isabel; 6 years old) we are starkly reminded that life is fragile; life is tender.
Capture the moments with those you love. Take them in; hold them close; spend time with them forever.
