Time

"There’s never enough time." 

This was the wisdom spoken to me by a truly amazing mother as we gazed down together at the child she just lost.

There’s never enough time.

There’s never enough time to spend with our babies.  There’s never enough hugs, enough kisses, enough snuggles.  Never, ever, EVER enough time.

We cannot tell them too much or too often how wonderful we think they are.  Because they are.

Shameless adoration. 

I don’t know much, but what I know for sure is that Jason left this earth happy.  He was happy; he felt deeply loved; he felt accepted, completely and unconditionally. 

He had a gift for making everyone else feel the same way…I really just can’t think of anything that would make me happier as a Mom than to know that my child made people feel this way.  At the end of the day, we all just want to feel special and valued.  Jason served his purpose on this earth by doing just that.  I find it remarkable that at the tender age of 16, he touched so many lives in a way that most of us will not do in an entire lifetime.

I mourn him deeply.  But this fact makes my heart smile.  He always made me smile.  He always made me feel special and he always made me feel loved.

He was a bright and shining star.  He was a luminary, no doubt.  He was one of a kind, and dangerously similar to his Mother!  J

I will miss him.  And every morsel of my being aches for my dear, sweet Connie.
