My Boys

I was just checking my blog tonight and noticed the picture of all three boys at the top. I found myself wondering about time and curious as to how it passes so quickly. That picture was taken one year ago on Easter. To me, my boys look the same, but if they were standing in front of me right now, I would see the differences in them. In this life, the only job I ever really wanted was to be a mom. Everything else came after it. Last night, the boys were particularly clingy. So much that I hid in the laundry room just for ten minutes of peace and quiet. Tonight, I am embarrassed by that. They are little for such a short period of time and there I was, huddled in the laundry room. Now, I do think that every mom needs some time away, so maybe it is just guilt that I am feeling. I love my boys with every ounce of my being. My life would be empty without them. God gave me three precious children and sometimes I just need to remind myself that it won't be like this for long. That is actually a song by Darius Rucker (Hootie). I am not a fan of his, but this song has deep meaning. It seems like they grow an inch in the blink of an eye. I simply want my boys to know that I love them more than anyone else ever could and I will never stop hugging them too long or kissing them one to many times. No matter how big they get, they will always be my little boys.
