To me, this story encompasses everything that Small Moments Mondays are all about.

What a beautiful, touching story. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. With us. I have to say that I am inspired to find more small moments in my life and in my children's simply because you remembered this moment in such exquisite detail so many years later. I can only hope my children have memories of me that will stand the test of time like this one did for you.

Just perfect.

Love you.

This made ME tear up. I wish we could slow down the clock just a bit. Mine is almost walking and I can feel her getting all grown up and it breaks my heart. At the same time though, at least we are raising some wonderful girls who will surely become fantastic women.

I can't speak from experience with this kind of loss, but I have been in that place. The place where you have to just continue on when all your body and your mind wants and needs to do is grieve. Where there is a small impressionable person that NEEDS you. The whole you. And you just...continue. Because you must. But it's excruciating. Just like you said.

Mothers are wondrous creatures. You are one of the exceptionally wondrous, I think.

Love to you.

Wow! That's WAY better than I could have done! Beautiful.

And no. Don't worry. Let her be exactly who she is meant to be. Whether it's inside or outside the box, she's yours and she's perfect.

You are doing a fan-friggin-tastic job.

Oh, Nichole. So so sweet.

I was going to do the "one year letter" too, but I had a hard time putting the words down. It's so hard to describe the love we have for them because it is all consuming and inexplicable. You did an incredible job, though. This right here will be something Matthew treasures for the rest of his life.

Thank you for sharing this. They really do grow way too quickly, don't they?

Nichole-

It has been a joy and a pleasure to be involved with Small Moments Mondays. Thank you so much for thinking of me. I really enjoyed my visit to your "house."

Much Much Love

Of course Natalie is one of my favorite people.

A great choice for SMM, Nichole.

Natalie:

I remember reading about this on your blog, and I also remember how much I loved it then, as I do now. You are so lucky to have a snapshot like that to carry with you for as long as you can keep it.

My favorite part? "Deal"

He didn't even try to justify it!

OMG I love you.

When I was watching the first one (I swear I didn't see him in the second video) I was thinking to myself "Is this guy doing a Chris Farley impression? Is he SERIOUS?!?!"

The part where you say "You're welcome" is way more appropriate than you know. This whole thing made my day. Especially when I scared my kid nearly out of his PJ pants when I started cackling hysterically at the last one. That's good stuff right there. So...Thank You!!!

Hey, I'm with Mad Woman. Except my printer is not hooked up.

Adding that to the list and THEN printing it out!

Another addition? Sleep.
