I Love...

I love when you three babes are home. It blesses me to see you hug each other with genuine love and happiness to see each other. I love the sound of your laughter and the silly stories and jokes you share. I love the comments you make to me out of earshot of each other:

"He's so good." "He's so handsome." "She's so talented." "She's so smart." "She's so pretty." "She's so funny."

I am truly blown away by your very different personalities and how they complement each other when you are in the same room. I love that you reminice and that you look at old pictures of each other. I love that you take new pictures together...capturing new memories. I love that you gang up and make fun of me (most times). I love hearing you say "Mama."

For all the mistakes I made raising you alone, I must have done a few things right and that makes me feel relieved and proud. Remember, when I am gone, you will only have each other. Cherish your bond and keep each other close in heart and in love. That is the thing I want most in this world.
