One of the best things for me about the internet are the wonderful short videos that friends and family send my way. I love inspiring, heartwarming stories, cards, movies, and, most of all, time with the real people that I love. As a mom who has raised 4 grown children and is now savouring the experience of grandchildren, this movie warms my heart. It speaks so eloquently to the emotions of motherhood as those ordinary moments of childhood fly so quickly by.
As you watch the video I hope that you, too, will be reminded to savour the ordinary moments with your friends and family. It is these ordinary moments and the memories they create that children take with them when they leave. It is the ordinary moments that I watch being recreated in my grown family as the kids share a story or a childhood experience with boyfriends, new spouses and their children. They come home looking for the familiar, no matter how old they are. The cupboard with the cookies, the favourite meal, the placement of the Christmas tree and a million other things that seemed so ordinary years ago have now become the memories of their adulthood. Take time to enjoy them along the way and then love the experience of living them over and over again as your kids grow.
