“I am so lucky to have you as my mom.”
These were his words as I finished toweling the water off his head, his hair a crumpled mess.
Funny thing is, that I was thinking the same thing.
His big green eyes looked up at me, so full of love. “I was thinking the same thing!” I said “How lucky I am to get to be your mom,” I told him with a little squeeze and a kiss on the head. His sheepish grin let me know that he approved.
God certainly knows what He is doing in putting us in families. My patriarchal blessing mentions how I will come to feel a deeper love than I know through parenting. I am so grateful to know that love and purpose. My kids mean the world to me, and I learn so much through them.
Forever grateful!
