slipping through my fingers

what is it about mama mia! that just makes you want to cry...i recall the first time i saw it, on a KLM flight to manila. i was happily the only one awake to see me blubbering like a baby. i can't find a proper version of the video on youtube, but here's the best i could find....and tho' sabin is only 9, it still brings tears to my eyes...



and while i'm not sentimental and generally despise sentimentality, how do you hold onto the goodness of right now, treasure it and memorize it and not let it slip through your fingers? if you know how, do tell me...
