It Won't Be Long

My beautiful daughter is 6 months old today. Just yesterday Eric and I were bringing her home from the hospital in the pouring rain... somehow I haven't noticed the rain a day since, because holding her makes any dark or dreary cloud disappear. Sometimes I look at her, and the power of love I feel hits me like a ton of bricks and nearly overwhelms me. I have the privilege of getting to go through the rest of my life with this beautiful person. I get to see her sweet smile every day, and hold her tight each night. I get to rub her chubby little cheek and tickle her tiny little feet. I was put on this Earth to be her mother, and am so blessed to accept that job from God.

 

I lay down right beside her

till her eyes are finally closed

just watching her it breaks my heart

cause I already know

it won't be like this for long

Today. Right Now.

Stop talking about love. Every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts.

Michael: I'll do anything.
Stephen: People say that, they don't mean it.
Michael: But I mean it!
Stephen: Well it's very simple... do whatever it takes.
Michael: It's that simple?
Stephen: Yes... you can't fail if you don't give up.

Frank Wheeler: We're gonna be okay.
April Wheeler: I hope so. I really hope so.

April Wheeler: No, Frank. This is what's unrealistic. It's unrealistic for a man with a fine mind to go on working year after year at a job he can't stand. Coming home to a place he can't stand, to a wife who's equally unable to stand the same things. And you know what the worst part of it is? Our whole existence here is based on this great premise that we're special. They we're superior to the whole thing. But we're not. We're just like everyone else! We bought into the same, ridiculous delusion. That we have to resign from life and settle down the moment we have children. And we've been punishing each other for it.
