Every Moment

My darling son, my sweet Captain Adorable, I want you to know that I see you and I love you in every moment. I see your beauty. I witness your strength, your softness, your passion, your happiness. I am here with you for the moment you see the big spider web in the corner of an unused picnic spot. I hold your sweet cool hand as we cross the street. I feel your excitement when you get to cut the olives for dinner. I see you the way that no one else will ever see you because I am your parent and I am oh so grateful for every moment we share. These fleeting moments of childhood will not be forgotten because I see them and I will always hold them dear.
