I love my children.
I love my son so very much. He’s the light of my life, and truly the best part of each day. I am amazed by his every move, even when he’s totally wild and totally SUCH a toddler (which he is these days- full speed ahead!).
I also love my daughter so very much. She is also the light of my life… her light shines through her brother, but also in every beautiful thing I see. Time hasn’t diminished my attachment to her, nor the love I feel. When I look at Everett sometimes, I wonder which traits of his would be like Lucy’s traits, if she were here. I wonder if his development with speech and other things would be different with his big sister around. I wonder a lot of things, about her. Yep, I still miss her. Not time, not rainbows, not healing, will change that. A mother’s love never, ever fades, whether our sweet ones are in our arms or not.
