Baby Gord

Last night, everyone was aware of how much Gordon needed to sleep. Once his eyes closed, as I rocked him to and fro, I leaned in to kiss his soft cheek. He fought for sleep most of the day because his schedule was off. He sacrifices so much as the littlest of three. As I kissed his cheek I realized that his baby smell was drifting away. I didn't want to lay him down. I just wanted him there in my arms forever. He fit perfectly after all.

"We would do well to slow down a little, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most. Strength comes not from frantic activity, but from being settled on a foundation of truth and light. It comes from focusing on the divine things that matter most. Diligently doing the things that matter most, will lead us to the Savior of the world," Elder Dieter Uchtdorf.
