I was a stay at home Mum too, and even then, you still wish you had taken more notice etc., when the time has passed. The thing is, that when you are thoughtful, like you are, and you have the insight to remember to notice, even though we all forget to notice now and then, then you can't go far wrong! You obviously intend to savour each precious moment, and you are a lovely Mum because of that! <br />Thank you so much for you lovely comment on my blog, you have really helped me. I think you are so right about him becoming worse, he was getting worse, and bit by bit, we were avoiding certain things (I wouldn't let him to near anyone!)and I would not have liked to have stopped him having a good fun filled life. Thank you, your comment was warm and thoughtful, you can't imagine how it helped. My posts are usually more happy! I am glad you want to keep in touch too!

Each petal represents our children going out and returning to us. As the family grows up the petals get bigger, very much like the going out and returning. Our children are always connected to us. Your son, his sandwich is a sign of the petals growing. I love it. I love that you noticed, that it squeezed your heart, but that you are wise enough to know that he is growing up, and that you have decided to NOTICE.

I had a very nasty fight with my parents four years ago. We didn't speak or see each other for over a year. But since then we have mended broken fences. I visit when I can...often on weekends, and call regularly. thiry-four years of my life have zipped past my mom and dad. But I'm still there, still her little boy, still calling to ask for advice. Still eating the dinner she cooked when I go over, and still doing the dishes when it's all done. Yeah, life happens, but even when he has a little boy of his own, you keep playing your cards like you are (and I know you will) he will still be your little boy.<br />~RandyChicken Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086930297113842826noreply@blogger.com
