You're Going To Miss This

Have you heard that country song, " You're going to miss this"? I just can't stop the words from running through my mind this morning. Here I sit with my adorable beyond words 4 year old. His pre-school was cancelled this morning because his teacher is sick. At first I was super frustrated. We need time apart to appreciate our time together ;) Plus, I just need some *me* time, you know? But then I watched a press conference of a police officer, Agent Francom, who was killed last night, serving a search warrant. Something my husband does all the time. Talk about reality check. Not only was he killed, but six officers were shot. Suddenly, getting to spend a few extra hours with my rapidly growing child doesn't seem like such a horrible thing. Does that make me sound awful? Probably. But that's reality. Agent Francom left behind a young wife and two young children. Can you imagine? Sending your husband off to work and fretting over house work and what to make for dinner and all the things that we all worry about. Being annoyed that the towel was left on the floor again, no one helps with dishes. Etc. Etc. Only to find out your whole world changed in a matter of a few minutes. It makes me stop and think what a lucky person I am. How wonderful my life is, my children are and my husband is. My husband is the hardest working fella I know. Seriously works 3 jobs. Sometimes 4. He sacrificed his time with us, decent sleep schedule, his safety all of these things to keep all of us safe. They put themselves in harms way on a daily basis just to keep creepers off the street. To keep strangers safe. Pretty humbling. So.... how's that for a random post? I guess I just realized that life is great NOW. I need to enjoy it NOW. Enjoy my kids. Enjoy my husband. Enjoy life. Now. Because who knows what will happen tomorrow?
