We celebrated Eddie’s 6th birthday last night. If I could freeze time, I would do it right now. He is so dang cute! His heart is so kind and happy. His disposition is fun and playful, but thoughtful and sincere. He is patient and fair with me and his expectations of me as his mother. I realize that those descriptions might sound deep considering we are talking about a 6 year old, but they are accurate. I have always been impressed but a little insecure with how easily my children can see right through me. He does this. It’s like his little spirit is far more advanced in understanding and love than his mind and his ability to comprehend. Amazing!
My patriarchal blessing tells me that I would be blessed to bring children into this world and would be blessed with an ability to love beyond that which I could comprehend at that time. Isn’t that true?!
Being a mom is the best! I can’t express enough the love I have for my kiddos and how grateful I am to be a mother. And I also can’t express enough how excited I am for when I get to be a grandma! It’s going to be so awesome! I will be the grandma who does grandma camp every summer and has garden spaces for each of her grand kids to plant and grow their own garden. We will read books together and tell stories and roast marshmallows. I can’t wait! But in the mean time, I will simply be the mom who loves her kiddos beyond comprehension.
Forever grateful.
