Four years.
1460 days.
How is that even possible?
So much joy in four years...my babies are getting SO big! Zooey is talking so much and so well. Tennyson, well, you'd really love him. And Gideon! Oh, my! They are such a handful...just the kind of wild children you always loved. Just the kind you'd enjoy for a bit then happily hand back but be willing to take them on again later.
So many changes. So much stress and sadness. I'm so glad you don't have to see it or experience it. I think a lot of it would break your heart. I have gone a long time without almost calling you...probably about a year. That is, until the last 7 months or so. I've almost picked up that phone many times. Sometimes a girl just needs her mom. Lots of times lately.
I miss your voice. I miss your smile. I miss your prayers. I miss your empathy and concern, your comfort and deep understanding. I miss your wisdom. I miss my MOM.
