Tender Moments

I love being a mom to Tiernan. He steals my heart every single day. Today as he was eating lunch he asked "Kiss, Kiss!" So I went to lean in and he said "Come here, come here" in this little whisper as he reached out with both hands to bring me closer to his little face. As I leaned over the cold Mac & Cheese, he placed his hands on both sides of my face and my son kissed my face, finishing with the sweetest smile. He repeated this "Come Here, Come here" beckoning three more times. Each time as I leaned over his tray, I couldn't help but love my child more with each cheesy hand on my face, each kiss and each smile.

He is such a precious blessing from God. I'm so glad that He has given me the chance to raise Tiernan. I can think of no greater gift this Christmas season...
