Fast Forward

One second is one second, right? The hours in the day haven’t changed yet time is flying past me, my precious girl standing eye to eye and wearing my shoes. My cat once feisty and ferocious now curls up in my arms when I sleep. Nothing stays the same. Sometimes I lie on the floor and think that while crying and eating cheese…

I watched my daughter fall madly in love with a sassy pony named Jazzy. She is a beautiful pony, all speckled and adorable. India volunteered to be the first one to ride her. She was determined to turn her into the perfect unicorn. Jazzy had other ideas on how things were going to play out.

I saw my girl grit her teeth and scream, “YOU ARE A UNICORN! ” She worked tirelessly with this pony, and her confidence soared. There is nothing on earth that matters more. I’m so proud and honored to be her mom. My little girl is not so little anymore. She made a decision and she stuck to it. She worked and fell and got stepped on and cried but she did it✨

Life is funny but miracles happen. I’m watching this girl make her dreams happen and my 80-year-old Dad has found true love! He is the happiest I’ve ever seen him and it makes me realize… Time isn’t anything. Life is flying by but at any moment something amazing can happen. Love can find you no matter how old you are and Unicorns are real. At least to my girl💕

I just want to savor every moment❤️ the horrible ones have led to the deeply beautiful ones. I am grateful for today where I’m covered in dirt from taking a tree down with my girl and shaving a cow (my new favorite sentence) but I’m also looking forward to the adventures I don’t even know about yet. Thank you, God.
