Moments That Took My Breath Away

“Life is not about how many breaths we take,

rather the moments that take our breath away.”

• A crimson sun dropping into a diamond sparkled sea
• The brilliant cardinal who graces me with his presence in the holly tree outside my kitchen window—I am certain it is Steve.
• Hearing Amazing Grace
• Walker, my grandson, gazing into my eyes and saying “Mimi, I love you sooooo much.”
• My daughter, Leslie, on her wedding day
• The night my son Marc called across the hall to me before going to sleep  “Mom, thanks for being a concerned parent.”
• Leslie, Marc, and Steve took my breath away—love at first sight.
