So as I sit here tonight all by myself I have been thinking a lot today... go figure! Anyways every one teases me because I still lay with my almost 7 year old at bed time! My family says I will be going with him on his honeymoon! Hehe and yes the thought makes me laugh everytime and sometimes it makes me worried that they are right because I have a very hard time letting go. But this is what I have come to.. I love my children more than anything in the world and there where many times growing up that I was scared... although it wasn't because my parents weren't the best parents in the world but it was just because I was scared of everything! So the other night as I was trying to put my sweet boy to bed he got the whole sad look that just melts my heart and he was truly just scared to be alone! At that moment I thought if for some reason he really is scared I will put him to sleep for the rest of his life. I know that is not the right thing to probably do but my point with this message is I am a mom to 3 of the most amazing children that God has so graciously given to me on this earth and I made a promise to always comfort them, take care of them and always make them feel safe. So while it does get a little old I have no doubt that his time will come that he doesn't want me to hang out with him so much and until that time comes I am going to cherish every moment. I have no idea why I felt the need to write about this, sometimes things just way on your mind and this was it! I love my husband who supports and stands right beside me in all that we do! I love our 3 absolutely wonderful children who even in the crazy times light up my life! I know that without my best friend I would be lonely and without our 3 children it would be quiet and I am OK with all the craziness because I will only have it for a short time until we all meet again someday in Heaven! WOW that was a sad story and now I am crying so I know for a fact my mother-in-law will be to when she reads this!! I love all of you! good night

You were right! I DID cry when I read that!! Now why would you write something to make me cry?? I love you! You and Tama are my heroes! You are both WAY better moms than I ever could have dreamed of being and I am so lucky to have you as a part of our eternal family! I love how you both put your kids and husbands first in your lives.
