When I was busy typing on my computer today, feeling a bit stressed by my daily duties to learn and create, I saw my baby daughter lying next to me, trying to pull out the pacifier from her mouth and stick her thumb in there instead.
I don’t want to miss a second of her life.
I want to soak in every moment with her, every image of her. I want to imprint them in my head so I will never forget, and so that I can always take them with me wherever I go.
I wonder what she is thinking when she’s tasting her own thumbs, when she’s staring at her own hand, when she carefully studies her father’s face…
I wonder if my mother had the same thoughts when I was a baby.
I want to record everything about this time period in her life. So that one day, if my daughter asks, I can tell her exactly how she was when she was a baby.
Working on myself and moving forward on my own path don’t have to be in conflict with spending time with her. The trick lies in one thing: be present.
Being the present is the way not to miss out on anything important.
