Thankful...
Day 3: My children. I have the best kids!
They each are so full of personality and are so spirited! You have to
meet them to know what I mean, but seriously, they are SO MUCH FUN. All
of that personality and will power made it very difficult to raise a
few of them as well, but it was well worth it. The older they (read: I)
get, the faster I realize that they will soon be all gone. :( Two of th
em
already are, and they are so far away that I never get to see them. It
breaks my heart every day and make me feel like only half of my family
is here. I wish they were close enough to have over for dinner, go to
church with, watch movies with, hug touch, shop, smile at, hear their
voices in person, touch their heads, etc etc etc. A mother never stops
feeling like her babies are her babies...even when they think they are
grown. My heart still says they are squishy little toddlers with fat
thighs that I want to tickle and hear my little boy tell me I'm the
prettiest mommy in the world, and have my Corki standing there in her
princess costume watching Barney. At least today I still have my Maddie B
and Emma Boo here that I can love on and look at their pretty faces. I
am SO grateful for all four of these beautiful souls. They are who God
chose to make me a mama and my cup runneth over.
