No Regrets

Oh, what I wouldn’t do to be able to pick up this sweet little girl and just squeeze her.
I’d definitely never let go.


(Summer of 2009)

One of my only regrets dealing with Preslee happened the night of her accident. As we were leaving, Pat was able to steal a hug from her, but before he could hand her over to me, she wiggled her way out of his arms and chased after her cousin, Ace. I tried to grab her as she ran past, but the quick little thing slipped out of my fingers. I remember thinking, “It will only be a couple of hours.” never dreaming it would be the last time I saw her healthy.

I’m getting emotional thinking about that night,
so before the ugly tears begin to fall, I’m off to go and hug my three boys.
It’s something I make sure happens Every.Single.Day.

If I have any piece of advice it would be,go and hug your little ones today,
(give your little girls an extra hug for me) 
In fact, lets make sure to hug our kiddos multiple times a day,
because life is precious, and tender,
and no one knows what tomorrow holds.
