Thoughts have been all over the place lately with much going on as I try to finalize some business business and get myself caught up with life. Face it, I've realized I've spent each day of the past 5 years keeping up with life. Amazingly, I see that I'm getting there to the caught up area of life.
As I sat here today typing a business email, The Grandbaby was playing with the vintage Cabbage Patch dolls and had a school set up. As she prepared the room, it was always relating to how her teacher did it. "My teacher sometimes needed a helper, my teacher...." Remembering. You see school is done for this school year and next school year, she will go to "Big School". Uh huh. How can that be?
As I continued typing, she came up to me and asked if she could borrow my phone. I said yes (kind of fearfully) and she went to get it, coming back to ask how to use the camera. I showed her and asked her why and she said these words that made me smile and become a bit teary at the same time, "I want to take a picture so we can always remember this day." (I thought, remember the dolls playing school?) And then I realized every day is a special day. Always remember THIS day. She took the photos and then showed me and said, "See. Now we can remember." Mercy. Least of all, how did she even know how to use my not smart phone at age 5?
So I've been reminded that EVERY day needs to be remembered....even the bad days and the good days because it takes all those together to make up our life and OUR story. Yes, let me "remember".
And on a more comical note, it is very entertaining to hear The Grandbaby be a teacher. She talks like an adult. "What? They're going to have a pawty? That doesn't make sense." So fun.
Consider....
