The last four and a half years have gone so quickly and have been filled with some of the greatest highs but also some very difficult moments as we have struggled to get a diagnosis for his autism. I have been thinking a lot about the need to slow down a bit and really try and enjoy and savour these last few months before school statrs and really enjoy the summer months together and your post made me realise that I'm not alone in this.

I can totally relate to your words, we nearly lost our eldest daughter when she was a baby, ever since I try to stop and savour the little fleeting moments as much as I can, but time goes so fast.

Then I remember how fleeting it is, how quickly they grow up. Being a mother is such a privilege.

My third was suppose to be my last (as if we can really plan these things) and then we had our fourth 23 months later. I find myself feeling this contentment more and more as I get older.

I had premature twins ( then youngest when they were 2 1/2) and spent about seven years just coping. It's really wonderful to have these years with my boys where I also get time for myself and chance to really notice both them growing up and the seasons/flowers/birds etc. I often feel like I have had blinkers on in the past, but I think I was just too busy to notice.<br />Have a good week <br />Jacquie xxxJacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070925194308020019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-31780461342316803402014-04-28T16:11:40.439+01:002014-04-28T16:11:40.439+01:00Amen......

It's been a total blur but I have a store of moments, none captured on digital media, but I can bring them to my mind's eye just as easily as from a folder on my laptop. They're totally amazing people. We too are so lucky. My husband was due to have a major op today but the cardiac consultant needed more tests - better to be safe - I so agreed with him. We so nearly lost my husband in 2010 - but for the prompt and skillful actions of our youngest (then 20) he'd have died in our bed at night. Jack was so cool, so calm and so efficient in his delivery of cpr from instructions over the telephone, until the ambulances arrived in a fleet. I needed my family so much for the week my husband was on a life support machine - they amazed me with their strength of character and wisdom. All the little moments we now share are SO precious - and moments with our family all the more precious as they grow up and make their way in the world - with all the love we can give them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-47562861453682661712014-04-28T14:07:41.482+01:002014-04-28T14:07:41.482+01:00Oh yes Kazzy, it's savouring all the little th...Oh yes Kazzy, it's savouring all the little things, the little moments when your daughter makes your heart melt and puts the biggest smile on your face with just a couple of words said.
