I en av Facebook grupperna som jag är med i så publicerade en av tjejerna texten nedan. Det fick mig att tänka till. Det är så himla sorgligt men det är så sant. Det finns en sista gång för allt! Tiden går otroligt snabbt och jag försöker att ta vara på varje stund och njuta. Ibland är det lättare sagt än gjort.
Texten är på engelska, men läs:
There is a last time for everything.
There will come a time when you will feed your baby for the very last time.
They will fall asleep on you after a long day,
and it will be the last time you ever hold your sleeping child.
One day you will carry them on your hip then set them down,
and never pick them up that way again.
You will scrub their hair in the bath one night,
and from that day on they will want to bathe alone.
They will hold your hand to cross the road,
then never reach for it again.
They will creep into your room at midnight for cuddles,
and it will be the last night you ever wake to this.
One afternoon you will sing “the wheels on the bus” and do all the actions,
then never sing them that song again.
They will kiss you goodbye at the school gate,
the next day they will ask to walk to the gate alone.
You will read a final bedtime story and wipe your last dirty face.
They will run to you with arms raised for the very last time.
The thing is, you won’t even know it’s the last time.
Until there are no more times.
And even then, it will take you a while to realize.
So while you are living in these times, remember there are only so many of them
and when they are gone, you will yearn for just one more day of them.
Inga pekpinnar så ni vet utan bara kärlek
For one last time.”
