Chest and Treasure…

 

Yesterday I learned exactly what my son thinks of me… I also caught a glimpse of the kind of man he will become. And after seeing and learning I feel a sense of gratitude that I’ve never known… I am teaching my children that love, respect, and honor are important, but morals and values have to be the foundation. We simply can’t have one without the other. Little did I know, my Angels are…were listening…

So on yesterday the Prince crawled into my bed, kissed my cheek, smiled, and said Happy Mother’s Day Mama, while handing me a card. On the top he drew an action figure with a caption bubble that read: “I am your Armor!”  Below he wrote: Mom, you are the Great Mom I know and I am so happy to have you. I love you so much. I am the Chest and you are my Treasure, I’m always going to protect you, because I love you. My heart melted and still melts every time I think about it.

All I can say is that they get it! My son is becoming the gentleman my Father taught my brother to be! He is getting the message, he is learning the lessons, and I am blessed beyond Measure!

 

Life is Good, really Good….

the dilemma of waiting...

W

aiting… Is not something I do well,  I’d like to think I have the patience thing down…. but the past events of this week have hindered my patience… while writing this I’m trying to find my way like feeling around through darkness even though the lights are on…

The light of  knowing the full truth of the matters, the darkness of not knowing where the boundary lines lie, how much you can attain within it's perimeters, and how much of it's area you can cover… but in this darkness I know EXACTLY what I want….

movies, dinners, afternoon strolls in the park, weekend getaways, the simple movement of everyday life that alludes to waking up next to each other and knowing that this is the first and last place you’d ever want to be… and although I know I can have these things, I shouldn’t want these things, I should abandon these notions but the deepness of my resolve will not allow it. Somehow I feel like it would be right only if I disengaged, gracefully added a cutesy, and walked away…   BUT my selfishness wants to give in selflessly…

I'm falling,

to a place I've never been...

I wonder if HE 

can

catch

ME ...
