I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.
Road Trip and My Acceptance
May 19th, 2007 by Connie RobertsSince Lady Ali is single I’m now allowed to be in her life more. That’s fine with me! It’s been tough with her being only 90 miles away and only seeing her once every few months.
Today Peanut, Mom and I met her for lunch, spent a few hours together and laughed like the whacky people we are. It’s nice to see your adult child…..so adult. She’s just so self-assured, fun, responsible and well grown up. It’s still tough to think about.
I really need to accept this fact. I do most of the time (well some of the time) but when I spend time with her again, it all comes back. Life in rewind. That tape that just keeps on going cause you can’t shut it off. The still frames of the most beautiful moments. Fast forwards of the awful ones.
It’s a Mom brain that can do that. I guess Dad brains do it too?? But to the extent that we can remember the first hair cut and how it felt to hold that lock of hair in your hand, the softness, the way it curled, the knowledge that there would be more to come? The first day of daycare when you saw just how little she was holding a backpack and a lunch box? How when you kissed her goodbye you took a sniff of her head then cried in the car before you could see to drive?
OK here I go…she’s not little any more. Snap Our of It!
