Oh, I think the same way sometimes — that sudden snapshot when you’re in the moment as well as being able to see the man to come behind the baby boy’s face.

Beautiful writing, as always….

I had tears running down my face through this entire thing. It was very beautiful. I long to one day be a mother and experience these moments, this love.

I miss those walks, the quiet, the slumped snoring….those times I’ll never have again…we never have done the checks at night, rarely ever cuddled to sleep past infancy-the rare moments now are when Ros falls asleep on one of us, but oh those moments are sweet.

I hope that whereever you’re going, it isn’t -35C outside.

I devoured every line of this post, like the warm brown-sugar-and-raisin topped oatmeal that warmed my insides this morning.

Beautiful post; as the mother of a 23- almost 24-year-old son who has a lovely fiancee who believes she loves him like no one ever has, can or will, I can relate. I know it’s a different kind of love than mama-love; but it’s bittersweet to remember those days when we filled each other’s lives.

And the sun poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my senses…
Thanks, too, for the Chelsea Morning/Joni Mitchell reference; it brought lovely memories, as well…

Oh, those sweet cheeks and lashes.

It is hard to imagine their hearts will ever belong to someone else, isn’t it?

I had the same feelings this weekend about my son. Often I catch myself staring at young men or boys wondering if I can see some Felix in there…will he wear his hair like that? will he carry around a heavy backpack like that? when will he start riding the metro by himself or when will I let him?

Time is crazy…
