Those 3 numbers have been circulating in my head this week.....as it is birthday week for my oldest boys...
Josh turned 13 today.....am I ready for a teenager.....I submit that I AM NOT.
Josh is my responsible, and caring, but a relentless teaser. He is smart and has a dry sense of humor, just like his dad! He is an A type personality but lets it all go when he plays his drums!
Mike turned 11 this week.
Mike is loving and lovable. He is the first do to what is asked of him.....most of the time. He is relaxed and just goes with the flow. He loves playing baseball and playing the guitar and flute!
And then there is Benjamin. He turned 23 months today....which in a normal household wouldn't be a
big landmark day.......
but in ours, it is a reminder of all that we lost 4 1/2 years ago. If Ben shared the same fate as his brother, he would be gone in 2 days......I know we shouldn't, but it's hard not to think that way. But what can you do? We can't live our lives in fear or despair of what awaits around the corner.....we just have to live....and have an enormous amount of faith in what awaits for us on the other side.....for I know it will be glorious!
I am glad to be a mother to 4 amazing sons....it is a privilege always, and just plain hard sometimes.........
just the way it's supposed to be!
