Colombia Day 5 – We’re Gonna Miss This

Cameron and I were sitting out on the balcony today admiring the plants and birds flying around outside the hotel. He was fascinated by a little humming bird that was busily feeding on the flowers nearby. I couldn’t help get a little emotional as we sat there together. As much as Mary Ann and I can’t wait to get him home, part of me knows that this is a special time that we will never have again. It is just us. No pressures, no schedules, no deadlines. Very few people to talk to (that understand us) and only one channel on the TV that plays English reruns, so pretty much no TV to distract us. Just us. Our new family.

The chorus to a song I heard for the first time almost a year ago came to mind as we sat there together.

You’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back
You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this

Needless to say, I am okay with the process taking a few weeks. We are cherishing every moment together. We will be home soon enough and things will get busy again, but we will always look back on this time as precious. I pray that I never forget the important things.

Cameron finds his voice. Amazingly, we have only had one all out crying fit in the week we have been together. I am sure that will change soon enough. =)
