Nothing more relaxing and enjoyable than sleeping with your child right on your chest. Roman used to sleep like that a lot when he was first born, but after a while he preferred the crib or a bed. But today I got another wonderful glimpse at that as he fell asleep on me while I was sitting and watching a movie. His little eyes got so tired and he just listened to my heartbeat as he drifted off to dreamland.
I think there is something magical about the human heart and have always wondered why it makes a sound. I think perhaps the sound is so that others can feel comforted and safe around us when we hold them close. Of all the human sounds we can make and produce I think the heartbeat is the most safe, the most soothing, the most filled with love. I think that maybe that is the reason that we say our feelings of love come from the heart, although it's just an organ in the human body it represents so much more of ourselves than just a muscle that pumps blood.
I am grateful for the simple moments and cherish the times with my son when our two hearts can hold a discussion even if it's only for a short time.
