Sometimes things in life take you by complete surprise. I wasn’t expecting today to bring me an experience that I’ll never forget — I never thought that something so seemingly insignificant could bring me to tears. But it did.
I am not someone who cries easily (I rarely even tear up), but this evening as my little boy began to drift off to sleep in my arms, the tears began to well up in my eyes. I wasn’t crying because he was sick or injured, I wasn’t crying because I had to leave him for a week-long business trip, I wasn’t even crying because I was thinking about the emotional day we brought him home. It sounds so silly to say it, but I cried because he was there with me at that moment, and I was there with him. We just were. Together.
I’m sitting here now wondering how I can explain my feelings in more sensical terms, but I can’t. I’m not even sure why I felt the need to blog about it. I just want to remember how I felt tonight.
I love you Harrison.
