The Simple Things

I didn't realize how much of the simple things I have missed throughout the years. Between not feeling well and recooperating from surgery, I missed alot. I didn't realize how much it means to my children to just be there, even if it means that we are just talking or if we are laughing because of something that we think is hillarious (even if it wouldn't make sense to someone else.
About a month ago, we went to my mom's, and the kids wanted to go outside and sit in her hammocks. At first I thought I would just let my parents take them and then I realized that the year before I missed this. I didn't go down and lay in the hammock, I stayed inside and missed something that simple.
So this year I went out and I enjoyed those moments so much. My childrens beautiful faces and their excitement was priceless.
I thank God that my children have grandparens who they have been able to share those moments with, but I really thank God that I am sharing them now. It is never too late.
