I've been grantd a mini Mommy holiday today. Hubby and daughter are spending the day together, away from the house. I can't tell you how many times I have caught myself looking out the window to check on her..........and they've only been gone 2 hours!!!!
You know I wasn't talking about you. ;-) You wouldn't believe how many times I will go out with my husband, hear a baby cry, then want to go home and see my baby. This usually after only a couple of hours.
They're grown and now leading their own independent lives. I cannot tell you how often I think back on all the days we spent together.
How much I miss them. How there's a big hole in my life that was filled with their laughter, their delight in learning something new, their spats......my daughter insisting her brother started it all when he hit her back.
Those memories are sustaining to this day.
I wonder how many mothers think what she put down on paper. I wonder how many regret their decisions after having the kids and find they don't like kids as much as they thought. It sounds to me that she should have never had them in the first place and maybe she had them because all her friends were having them.
