Appreciate

I am taking time to appreciate my girls tonight. As I sit here and watch them dance and laugh together I am reminded that they are amazing little people with distinct personalities that make them special and unique. They fill my days with happiness, frustration, joy, love, noise and many other good and bad things. I appreciate today both the good and bad things as those things remind me that I am a mom and how lucky that makes me. People dream for this, people long for these moments and people pray to have days like I get everyday.

I appreciate my girls and hope that I am successful in making sure they know just how much. Time is short, life is short. I will only get but so much time with them- only so much time to tuck them safely in at night before they eventually move on to live thier lives; only so much time to be the one they run to when they are hurt before they turn to the people they will share their lives with; only so much time as time moves so quickly and slows down for no one.

I appreciate them tonight and will try my hardest even when I cannot take the noise, the whining, the crying, the mess, the constant work because all that means I am a mom and that my girls are here- safe and sound and that they need me. I appreciate them more than their are words and I need to work harder at showing them.




Thinking of you Bella. Fight if you can sweet girl, rest if you must. You have made a huge impression on me and on this world and for that I appreciate you as well.
