Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in life as a wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend.....Hope you enjoy your time with me!

You Light Up My Life!

You Light Up My Life!

Baby Bear! It is YOUR birthday and I cannot believe that in 365 days from now you will be 18! Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday you were holding that bottle in between your teeth and dragging that blankie around! Oh that blankie!!!!! Such memories! I can still smell it! NO LIE! But what I would do to erase time and go back to that stinky blankie!

Why erase time and go back? Because there were times I was not at my best and I know there were times I could have done better. Yes ,you have had a wonderful life, but as your mom I know there were times I could have done better. For instance, when I kept making you play football! I am so sorry for that. I know you forgive me and all I can give you is the acknowledgement that I know that I could have done better there. I am sorry. I know there are many more. The point is I want you to know I love you!

Here is the deal, I know you know I love you. I also know we will still have rough patches. What I want you to know son is I will always love you. ALWAYS!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!! You bring me so much joy and light! It’s not just one way that you shine either JP, but a million different ways that you light up my life. You are such a gift! And not just to me and our family, but to the world!
