Wow! What a weekend. I had all good intentions to complete the Friday/Saturday blog, but ‘things’ got a little behind schedule.
The actual title of this blog is: I Love My Children So Much!
Sometimes we get busy and you take the people in your lives for granted. Unintentionally, but we do. I want to tell you what two exceptional children I have. I don’t do this too often, I believe in privacy, theirs, mine, and my families. This is why I never use names.
But I feel this need to tell you of these two people and if you are lucky enough to meet people like these two women – consider yourself lucky.
My youngest daughter spent the entire summer (with a few excursions with friends) but most of the summer with me. She helped me with laundry, shopping, gardening, cleaning, and was hostess when people stopped in. She was clear headed when I was not. She was my eyes for labels in the grocery store. She was my muscles when I couldn’t lift something. She cooked most nights, healthy!, for me. She scolded when I was over my daily carb limits. She included me on her craft projects, knowing I don’t have the best dexterity or eyesight anymore and really couldn’t help. She made me laugh at LEAST five times a day.
My oldest daughter spent the weekend with us. She gave up her weekend and left work at noon on Friday (even though she was very busy) to help move her sister back to college…but she did so much more. On Friday afternoon, she came with me and her sister out to do laundry… and because I was broke…she paid for it. She handed me 100.00 for spending money: gas, food, etc. She helped load two cars full of her sisters ‘stuff’ and then unloaded it when we got to the school. She helped move furniture around in her sisters’ room and set up her room so it was cute and comfortable. She bought us all dinner on Saturday and then took her sister to Wal-Mart for the ‘forgotten’ items of toilet paper, body wash, etc. Sunday morning she handed me $40.00 for gas and coffee… before she left she looked at my computer to try to enhance the antenna…and after she left she picked up her sister at school to ‘pick her up a few things’ at Staples. Then drove the 110 miles home.
What do I say? How can I possibly thank them both for being the fine adult women that they are? I wish you both all the happiness and success anyone can have in their life…my love to you both.
Mom
