Do you Remember?

Do you remember the last time your baby’s milky mouth pulled away from your nipple and she gave you a gappy smile?

Do you remember the last time she clung to you like a koala bear?

Do you remember the last time you washed and hung out her cloth nappies?

Do you remember the last time you read her a bed time story, prayed “God Bless mummy, daddy, the boys, and all the family” and kissed her warm forehead, nose, chin, each cheek and her sweet rosebud lips?

Do you remember the last time you folded her school socks and hung up her navy school uniform?

Do you remember the last time she sat on your knee as you cradled her, calming her tears and her fears?

Do you remember the last time you hugged her and whispered “I love you more than life itself”?

Do you remember watching her with her ballerina steps and hair flowing as she turned her back, pulled her bag along and disappeared through the Departure gates?

Do you remember these …. last times?
