A lot of "life" can happen in just a short period of time. We've had some significant family changes in the past year that we are still adjusting to. The kids and I have moved to a different location and are creating our three musketeers life.It hasn't been easy. The emotions wheel has spun around a time or two. Trying to answer the big questions that the kids have has been heartbreaking and enlightening.
I've learned just how much unconditional love my children have for me and their father. I realized it one day where I felt like a complete failure as a parent. The kids and I were headed somewhere and as I buckled my daughter into her booster, she looked me square in the eye (and into my soul) and said, "I love you so much." No pomp and circumstance, just those three little words brought me to tears while I stood on the side of the car. When she questioned why I was crying, I told her that I really needed to be told that. Then we hugged and went on our way. I will always remember that moment. The moment her soul reached out and lifted mine.
Don't get me wrong, the past year and some change has had great moments as well. I have traveled to places I had never been before, made new friends, and reconnected with old friends. You'll certainly see me on here more often. However, my content will change as life changes for me.
Thank you for keeping up with me. Talk to you soon!

my darling,
but so are you."
