I love you my darling. This was an excellent site and I will track it some. I am not where you are today, but, BY GOD, I was…..and always some place far from family and friends. Although I will say: call me, e mail me, etc., it is not the same and we are not best friends, nor going through the same things. I am so proud of you and all you do. And I hope and pray that you know, you can call me, e mail me, cry out for help to me…..I WILL BE THERE if you would.
We just got home from dropping my mom off at air port and I can tell you that there is a circle of womanhood…strength in being a mom…..it is different than being a couple, or a single; and it is a powerful responsibility: even with great faith in God and great love…..it can be lonely. Responsiblity is lonely. Every woman, every mom, has felt that loneliness and I am glad this generation has a source for …I can’t think of the right word…a source of comfort maybe, but I mean a word that means going through the same thing, a source to share…..anyways, a source, the internet to talk to people in the same place emotionaly as you….SUPPORT. That is why Chris and I are such good friends to this day.
These are precious, precious moments in your life, but can seem like ENDLESS time as you live it.
So, I cry as I drop my mom off at airport, I cried with her as we talked of Daddy, I cried as we shared our love for our kids….shared our love for MY kids…..shared our dreams and faith in God for Eli…… my mom, my friend, a woman to share things……I already miss having her here.
But, what I am trying to say, my darling daughter…..I love you.
Mom
Thanks Mom!
