This morning jack, esme and i visited monica's mom, kim. i was a little worried at first that bringing the kids would not be a good idea. jack seemed to have gotten up on the proverbial wrong side of the bed and i am never quite sure when esme's gassy moments are going to hit...but having them there actually was just right.
jack crawled up on the couch and "petted" kim...and then when she was emotional, kissed her. the honest affection from a child is such a sweet gift...
my heart aches for kim and her family...
i saw today something i remember clearly seeing in my mum...a parent not wanting to let go. i can imagine that being a mom, you probably always feel your "kids" need you no matter how old and mature they get...
after we left, i had planned to go to the nature center just a few miles down the road,,,but i didn't have it in me....i just drove home. the kids were both asleep when i drove down our driveway...so i let them sleep and just sat when the car stopped. all the stuff of life just pales in comparison to what they are dealing with...it just floats away.
just got caught up since the parking entry.
