I've been thinking lately that there are many things I would like to do before I kick the bucket one day. And the number one on that list is enjoy watching my children grow, well as of right now its just my son. But I want to be there for ever skinned knee, for every bow for every school play they are in, for every touchdown, basket, or backhand spring they make. I want to cheer louder then any other parent in the crowd, even if my child covers their face in embarrassment. I want to be there through all the good, and all the bad. And mainly I want them to know that no matter how old they are I will always be there to hold them, hug them, and cherish them.
So this list is for them, for many of the items involve little hands, and wonderful imaginations.
- Enjoy my children grow.
- Go camping every year until I'm to old to make it up the hill.
- Catch fireflys.
- Bake cookies, cakes, or cupcakes at least once a week.
- Invite friends or family over to enjoy said cupcakes, cookies, or cakes.
- Celebrate birthdays as if we were bringing in a new year.
- Write a song.
- Learn how to play the piano or guitar.
- Sit on the beach from sun up til sun down reading the same book.
- Take a road trip on Route 66.
- Restore a classic car, by myself.
- Hand make every single Christmas ornament for our tree.
- Learn how to snowboard.
- Go horseback riding.
- Take dance lessons.
- Learn how to knit and sew.
I know my list is short right now but it will grow with time. I also know there is more to add but I can't think of any more right now. Cause at this very moment I have a sleeping baby next to me and I'd rather enjoy him, even asleep, then continue thinking off all the things I want to do.
