Flash Forwards

Dear Natalia,

You just woke up from your nap and now you are sitting on my lap as I work on the computer. While sitting and working I just had a flash forward.

I can see you in my minds eye becoming a little toddler. Running around and laughing at the joys of life. Then I can see you becoming a little girl, wanting all the pretty dolls you see around you. Next I can see you becoming a young woman, beautiful and sassy... then you leave home.

This moment with you on my lap is just going to last for a second compared to the rest of our lives together, and eternity. There will be times when you won't want to be around me. There will be other times when you will call me crying and needing help. There will be many more times of joy, laughter and learning.

Oh what a beautiful moment it can be while just sitting at the computer.

I love you,

Your Mom
