You don't realize how much I need you, love you all the time and never leave you

I was going to write a long post about how much I enjoyed my weeks’ vacation with the kids.

How nearly every moment felt special, as if scripted in my movie treatment of the perfect vacation. How seeing Ruby’s expressions in the American Girl store was beyond priceless. How thrilled Jack was when I rode the Phoenix with him at Knoebel’s Grove. How Ruby’s (and Jack’s) face lit up when in the midst of a roomful of kittens. How the long car ride was made more than bearable with constant replays of the “Help” CD. How “picking” at the farm, to me the most mundane of things, meant so much to Jack.

How I hope that their memories of the week are burned into their subconscious that way they are burned into mine.

So, although I would like to list every activity in joyous minute-by-minute detail, I will just leave it as this:

Life was meant for moments like this.

Pity that there aren't more of them.
