So, I am at the gym, running on the treadmill, listening to my newly downloaded songs and quite enjoying it. Dancing Queen kept me going, Super Trooper got me going a little faster, (if you can't tell, it's ABBA!!!) but then something unexpected happened. I had heard the song before, and cried my eyes out, but I thought, I am at the gym....I am running and sweating......surely it won't have the same effect on me this time!!! Well, the song starts, and 5 seconds into it, I start to breath differently, and my eyes start tearing up. Through strong will and determination, I made it through the song without slowing down, but I was determined to make Brian listen to the song when I got home, and see if he could hear it without crying. What is the song you ask? It is called 'Slippin' Through My Fingers'. It is a mom singing about her little girl growing up and.....well, I don't want to start crying again, but the song has already prompted a manicure appointment for Anna and me, a shopping trip for just us girls, and I am holding her in my lap a lot more. Sometimes it takes a song, or a poem, or someone else who has gone through it to make you realize how quickly they will be gone. I am so thankful for my little girl and I pray that I don't let our time together 'slip through my fingers'!!!!!!
