Moms

I am always amazed at how sad I feel after my mom leaves. I mean, I KNOW I will feel sad, but it really is a little shocking to feel this big empty space in my chest when I am pulling away from the curb at the airport. Every time. I think it has gotten worse since Jacob was born. There is just no one else that you can have the same kind of relationship with...

I was going to attempt a list of the important things I have learned from my mom, but it's a little overwhelming, actually. From walking and talking to teaching my own child to walk and talk (and pee on the potty!), I can't imagine where I would be without my mommy!

I wish I had more time to reflect on this subject right now, but I have to get ready for swimming lessons with Jacob. I'm hoping that when he's 30 and looking back at his mommy, he will admire me half as much as I admire mine.


I love you , mom!
