I wasn't always this lucky to be home with our boys. There was a time I worked at an office. I would come see them on lunch breaks and go back to work cause I felt guilty of not being able to be home with them. Every minute I got to see them made me feel better knowing that I was doing this all for us, our family. We'd always have a long drive home in traffic. Some days were unbearable from getting up while still dark outside dragging two sleepy heads out of bed. Somehow, I did it. I believe it was the grace that God gives us when we feel we can't make it.
Michael would sing songs with me as his little brother drank his bottle and tried to mumble the lyrics in the car on the way home. The song in today's blog makes my eyes water, cause in my mind I see my little ones in the rear view mirror singing to their mommy when I hear it.
Time unfortunetly waits for no one before we know it we're grown ups wishing we were kids again. I just can't believe how fast it has gone and here we are 10 years have passed us by. I know the years ahead are not going to be easy raising my son but I will be here beside him to help and him guide along the way the best that I can. As tears fill my eyes while writing this, I hope that he knows I will always be here for him. My first born who changed my whole purpose in life by making me a mommy. I thank you for the memories you've given me and look forward to the ones to come. You've always given me a sense of hope and have made my "Bad Days" better with a smile and a song I hold in my heart. Whenever I hear this song I think of you it's one of my most precious memories. Happy Birthday Michael. I love you with all my heart. Love Always, Mom
