Michelle Pokrass(@michpokrass):parenthood is hard. not for the usual reasons but because it feels impossible to adequately savor it. i know i'm in the days i will achingly miss one day but try as i might i still can't commit every moment to memory. that determined look on her face when she is carefully inspecting a new toy, will i remember it in ten years? the way she giggles during peekaboo, am i going to be able to call that sound to mind? her babyhood is slipping away as i desperately grasp for it, all of it at once, catching only the slivers that i record in journals and pictures and the collective memories of those who love her. what a gift to catch any of it and still i yearn for it all
