I got up this morning to fresh snow. Ugh, go shovel the driveway. But I looked out the window and it was almost done! But my wife was in the house. I looked and there was my daughter doing it. I just could not believe my eyes, the shovel is as big as her.
She got it all done. It seemed like yesterday we would have to put her in a toboggan and pull her and now she’s shoveling the driveway.
It was another reminder that our time with a little person is short. It can be a lot of work being with a little person. Mostly the work is patients, some breathing and some more patients. But days like these I realizes the time is a gift and I must enjoy it as much as I can, because people are small for a short time and big for a long time.
I hope all of us can take a moment to actually experience the moment. Slow down, enjoy what is happening now and if you have the chance to spend time with a little person, breathe.
