So much of this part of life is a struggle. It seems tears, sickness and confusion are common place. But those few sweet moments, those gentle, tender times are so precious. My dear little children as I sit typing at a very later hour than I would normally desire, I cannot help but be mesmerized by you. Sam you are a meek warrior, so much is a head of you. Dear Adalyn you are a strong willed fighter who will do great things. And you are worth every tear I have shed, every pain I have felt, every hormone that has turned me into a monster. You are precious and every minute I spend with you I become more of who God wants me to be. More of the best version of myself. You are a wonder beyond measure my sweet little children. Thank you for this sleepless night, because it will be gone tomorrow and unheard of in a few years.
Sam thank you for interrupting my bath to say hi and saying thank you for ice cream. Adalyn thank you for crying because you just want to be near me, and insisting on carrying your little doll everywhere. I never thought I would find who I was in someone else, but I am so glad God made it happen this way.
You are treasured my darlings, a gift that cannot be replaced. And I am me because you are you. No one else will understand that like us and maybe we will forget too, but right now I am me because you are you and for that I am grateful.
GoodNight little ones
-love mom
