Day 07 – Someone Who Has Made Your Life Worth Living For

I don’t say it often enough, I get too wrapped up in the terrible teens (the 2’s and 3’s have nothing on the ages from 10 and up).  I see too much negative…the lack of common sense in every day activity…..the attitude….the know-it-all-ness…

But in my heart I’ll never forget the days when all I lived for was his smile.  Before the days of doctor’s appointments and therapies and struggling to get IEP’s and help our girls needs.

When it was just the two of us.

When his trusting blue eyes and tiny life gave me the backbone I needed. To stand up for him.  To make sure he was cared for, and to make sure that he had a good life.

It was because of him that I found my husband (and his dad).

When life took an unexpected turn, I found joy in a set of stunningly blue eyes, a little boy that was quick to smile and laugh.  The boy that drove me insane watching Mary Poppins over and over and OVER again (seriously, I want to strangle the uptight, snobby witch).

I need to remember to say it more often.
