Sometimes you just want time to stand still

There have been moments in life when (much like the Adam Sandler movie) I wish life had a remote control. I could fast-forward the pain; pause the tender moments. With this remote control I could make the awesome moments literally last a lifetime…or at least a few minutes longer. That moment when I was 14 and I was given my first paycheck made out to Andrew M. Odom – I could live it over and over. Or maybe that night when I told you I was going to flirt with you in the next five minutes and you giggled after responding, “who’s stopping you?”
If anyone still reads this blog, take a minute or two and describe a moment in time when you wanted to either stretch out or pause your life—the last time you walked hand and hand with a loved one; a spiritual awakening; or a perfect vacation day.

Unfortunately, at this time, I can only think of times that I would have rather fast-forwarded.

Each and every day I look at Ryan and Lauren (my grandchildren) and wish that I could freeze life for them…they are happy, carefree and totally trusting…they know they have all they need and are safe and protected…I wish with all my heart that I could keep them from any harm…but sadly as we grow our hearts and spirits are broken by the careless actions and words of others….for now I look at them and than God for the time we have together

I could definetly pause almost every time that I get a chance to lay down next to Gavin to put him to bed or seeing him first thing in the morning before I go to work. Like Patti said he is so happy and carefree and I want him to be that way forever. But as we all know that will not happen and he will grow up and have bills and a job etc. etc one day and he won’t be my little bud any more. Time flies by these days and a pause every now and then would be excellent.
