I got this in an email from a friend. It was part of a scam that so-and-so is tracking this and will send money somewhere. I cut that garbage out, but wanted to share this with all of you. So perfect for mothers/fathers -- of all ages. Substitute other activities... it fits. *still wiping teary eyes*
THIS WILL HIT YOU WHERE IT HURTS!
*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the
laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the
sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours
together.
*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep
the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow
bubbles.
*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny
grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I
will buy you one if he comes by.
*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you
are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every
decision I have made where you are concerned.
*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake
cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
*Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy
us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell
you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub
and not get angry.
*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we
sit on the porch and count all the stars.
*Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for
hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
*Just for this evening when I run my finger through your
hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given
me the greatest gift ever given.
*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are
searching for their missing children, the mothers and
fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead
of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital
rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside
that they can't handle it anymore.
*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little
tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for
you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............
