Sunny, clear, beautiful sky. Three swim-clad boys. Windows down. Good tunes flowing out of the speakers. Destination: Splash pad.
And then the lyrics:
What a life to take.
What a bond to break.
I'll be missing you.
I started crying. My 7 year old noticed. Was I surprised he did? That kid notices everything his mama does!
"What's wrong, Mom?'
"I just miss my mom."
Silence.
"I wish I could have met her."
I thought I was crying before. It sucks that she doesn't know these precious babies of mine. It still amazes me that I can be flitting right along, and then the next, tears. Grief is hard. Grief is still there- 9 years later and probably forever.
And then?
"You will see your mom in heaven one day, right Mom?" "Yes, baby."
The radio plays-
On that morning
When that life is over,
I know...
I'll see your face.
What a SWEET day that will be!
ps More and more each day, I learn how much God knew I needed this little {big} boy of mine!

She was an awesome woman Nicole. I'm glad I knew her.
My thought is that she does know these precious babies of yours...perhaps she helped with the selection of them because she knew you would be their perfect mama. :)

Lovely, Nicole!
I agree with Dawn. She does know your boys!! She knew them before you did :)
