Mommy's Here

I heard Graham crying this morning at around 4am. (Those who know Graham, this is pretty unusual) I checked the monitor and he was doing his usual stand-n-sway back and forth holding onto the crib rails. It was sort of a scared cry. When I enter the room he had his arms stretched out like, "rescue me mama." And I did. I grabbed him and started to rock him. He was immediately soothed. I held him and he held me. I rubbed his back. He was at complete peace. It was then that I realized how incredible it was that I had the ability to make everything ok for this child. Me, just me. I could take all his worries away. Just by holding him and being me. I realize I need to cherish these moments while they are here. Being a parent is so incredible. As Graham grows I will always be there for him, but I will not always be enough. So, for now, "Mommy's here" will suffice.
