Hourglass

I was reading the Nie Nie dialogs today and she had a beautiful video of her family set to this song by Mindy Gledhill.  It seriously made me start to cry.  I had a really hard day at work and I have just felt so overwhelmed by all of the upcoming events I lost sight of what is important in life.  I gave Hunter a huge hug and just thought about how much I want him to be stuck forever this way.  I just can't imagine him getting bigger.  I think back on Mikey when he was Hunter's age and I remember thinking the same thing.  It just really blows my mind how time flies.  I love these boys so much. 

Here are the lyrics to that song, it's beautiful:

Little boy, when you speak
I can’t help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
And tell me all about your plans

Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could take a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan

When you reach for the stars
Don’t forget who you are
And please don’t turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life’s an hourglass
Life’s an hourglass

Story’s read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask
