Time

She never thought I had hung the moon, but she did give me an assignment. 

"I need you to figure out how to stop time." Within a few weeks, we'd eloped to Las Vegas (I'm happy to say that was fifteen years ago, now, and we're still very much in love). 

Time has flown. I haven't figured out how to pause it, no matter how much I'd love to hold it at bay. 

Now, our kids are thirteen, eleven, and nine. Such wonderful, kind, thoughtful humans. 

They all make me realize how vital it is to hold onto a moment.
