Bliss

I have suddenly realised what sheer bliss is. I had been searching for it for many many years and today it came upon me in the form of my children.

The baby had her early morning bottle at 6am then went to sleep snuggled into me with her head resting on mine and I could feel her heartbeat and her breath on me, it was beautiful. That was bliss number 1.

The eldest just fell off her slide and hurt her ear. I was upstairs putting away the washing when I heard her screaming. I took the stairs down in double quick time and found her with tears running down her face. The Bliss number 2 was the way she came running towards me and we clung onto each other tightly while I comforted her. Her hold was so tight it left marks on me, but I don't care, I love this little girl with all my heart and I know that there will come a time where she won't want to be held or kissed, but right now I am enjoying the bliss of her holding me and kissing me and saying she loves me.

We are probably the most important things in each others lives, and that too is beautiful.
