Of loving and letting go...

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.  ~Tenneva Jordan

No one ever told me it was going to be this fun. If they did I would have done it sooner than I did.  I love being a mom.  I especially love being Parrish's and Aspen's mom.  Oh what a hoot these 2 have been so far.  8 years and some months now.  Never a day that goes by no matter how hard and challenging it was, that I don't feel blessed.   Never a day that goes by that I am not reminded of it.  Parrish out of the blue today told me that he is a very lucky boy and when I asked him why,  I was told that it is because I love him.  I don't even know how I am going to let go of them eventually.  Maybe then,  hopefully anyways,  I will realize that it is part of it.  " If you truly love someone you have to let them go", I was told once.  Aspen will start full day kindergarten in 2 weeks. I don't know how it would be at home without them for 7 hrs. Quiet I suppose.  Pretty ironic actually,  since I wish for this at times.  Now I don't even want it.  Quiet can be quiet somewhere else.   They are growing up so fast, slowly slipping away.  A lot of firsts this year.  Parrish had his first sleep over at a friends house.  The first time Aspen rode his bike without training wheels was this summer.  Sleeping in their own beds. The first time I broke down and hired a babysitter.  Lots of firsts...and I would have gladly stepped into the seconds knowing that it can give me comfort from the familiarity of it all and not having to go through the emotional upheaval of doing it the first time.  It's me lamenting here.  This is my time of night or morning.  I usually reflect as I am not afforded this opportunity during the day. There's always dirty hands, scraped knees,  an argument to mediate,  a kiss to give,  a hug to receive,  a swing to push, a whisper to decipher,  a friend to invite,  mouths to feed, a bruised ego to heal.  Always...always, there is love to give.

P.S. I apologize.  I do not know how to add friends on my list that doesn't have a bravenet account.  Let me know how and I will add you.  Thanks.
