These are precious times...

I may have already posted this picture on the blog. BUT, I felt compelled to post and this picture was one of my faves on my phone. I look at this picture and simply cannot believe that my husband and I, made him.Everything good and true and pure in both of us is...him. I have to admit...I was prepared for how much I would love my children. For some reason, I never really thought about them loving me back. Trusting me, wanting me, feeling safe with me. I never thought that simply by picking them up, their booboos would disappear. And, I think that is what makes people itch for and long for more children. I pray (even though I don't pray THAT much...) that my children will always love me. There's NOTHING either of them could ever do to make me love them less. They are just as miraculous as rainbows and clouds to me. As astonishing as morning dew on plants. As refreshing as tulips in the spring. They are perfect. And, I struggled for them,  I still struggle for them. And, I don't know how they are mine. I will never understand why God blesses some and takes from others. I am so very happy that this hole in my dream has been filled. Fulfilled. Overflowing. I thank MY god for them. And, the wonderful supportive and loving husband that always has my back. My life began the day that I met him. It's all been such a blur, how each and every memorable moment has turned into my life, my family.
I am forever happy and in awe.

About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
