Time flies by. A little too fast if you ask me. It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with Big Bro. I can still remember that whole day. The anticipation, the pain and the feeling of love like no other I’d ever experienced the first time I held him. The kind of love that nothing in the world can ever compare to, until you have another child and are able to feel that love again.
These kids are my life. I love them with all of my heart and I wouldn’t be who I am today without them. They completed me. They started my family, the only real family I’ve ever known and been a part of.
Now that they’re older, they don’t need me as much. They don’t like to cuddle much or get hugs and kisses from mom. We’ve all taken life for granted.
But then I look back on the memories and remember it as if it just happened moments ago and I feel that very first unconditional love all over again. These children are mine, a part of me. We will forever be bonded through our blood and I will try my hardest to never let them down. I will try to always be there when they need me. I want them to know that they can always count on me and that I love them more than life itself.
I was going through pictures yesterday to find the perfect one for a custom vase and I came across these pictures from Labor Day weekend of ’07. This was the kids’ first ‘real’ camping trip. They had gone before, but never actually got to enjoy it and do all of the fun things like, fishing, swimming, boating and shooting. It’s hard to believe that these were taken 2 1/2 years ago. Time goes by way too fast. I wish I could make it stand still.
