One of those moments

Ben was awake when I got in from work tonight, and as I sat holding him and rocking him back to sleep, I looked down at him in my arms and realized how he is not so much a baby anymore than a little boy. As I sat there, I found myself asking him silently, how did you get so big? I wish someone could tell me where the time goes, anyway. So many days I just wish I could stop the clock so that there never had to be a time when his face wouldn't light up just because I walked into the room, or when mommy's kiss couldn't fix every problem in the world. I guess it was a little reminder to me to cherish each moment because once it passes, you can never have it back.
