Mondays are sitter days for the kids. It is a chance for them to socialize with other kids their age and for me to run errands or do things around the house. Our sitter is wonderful, very loving. Trey has gone to her house since he was 3 months old. He has fun there and gets very excited about going. So it was strange that he started to call out for me in a worried voice as I started to leave. I almost went ahead and slipped out the door to avoid a crying fit. But my mommy brain wouldn't let me and Trey was fast. He had already run to the door and grabbed my hand.
"What's the matter Trey?" I asked.
"Oh Mommy! I forgot to give you a hug and a kiss!" he said.
I leaned over and he gave me a big squeeze and planted a kiss on my cheek. Then he was off with his friends. I know I was smiling as I left. I must savor this moment, I thought to myself. I know how fast time goes by. Before I know it Trey will be too old to want to show me that type of affection in front of his friends. If only he could know how much my heart loves him. But I don't think he can know this until he has his own child. So for now I must savor my moments as they come to me. Thank you God for my son.
The Thing I Have Been Wondering

It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...
