emotional thoughts

Tonight, as I put Allison to bed, I held her in my arms in an upright position. I love it when she is tired, she rests her head on my shoulders. Perhaps because classical musical was playing in the background, it got me very emotional. Allison is growing up, both in size and personality, and she is slowly escaping me. She will never be this little and fit into my arms the way she does now. She loves me so much now, but in a few years it will be a different kind of love and dependency. So Allison, while you are this little, I will hold you just a little bit tighter, and just a little bit longer. I will baby you just a little bit more, because these moments won't last forever.
