As I sat rocking Brady to sleep tonight, I had a moment of realization. I was getting a little frustrated because he was over tired and I just wanted him to go to sleep. I realized as I calmed down, so did he.
At first I had been impatient to have him fall asleep so I could "get on with everything I had to do." However, after he fell asleep, I just stayed and rocked him for a while. I looked at that beautiful little face and realized how perfect he is. He is just a tiny spirit from a loving Father in Heaven that I need to help be the best he can be.
I realized also "this is only a short time." Yes, a short time on earth. But, more importantly, right now its a short time that I will be able to rock him like this. I spent those few extra minutes tonight just letting him know in quiet whispers (because he finally fell asleep) how much I loved him. Its only a short time I get him like this. I will treasure it.
