See them, they are my muse…. each one brings something special into my life and reminds me that no matter what the future brings we still has so many possibilities.
The one in red is Devin. I have spoken about Devin many times and he brings to my life so many lessons & laughter. My boy was the first of the twins born , he was 9 lbs. of boy. I was so happy when they said he was healthy and safe. I wanted to see the little man that had been taking up space on top of his brother that was buried in my back! Funny thing is that i don't remember what happened that day … so much excitement and so much in awe of having twin boys.
The one in blue is Ethan. Ethan I haven't spoke about as much, he was 8 lbs. and very alert from the first moment he cried. He has enough personality for a 7 foot man , remember he is only 7 years old! He is a riot and is really smart, not just book smart but street smart. He shares his secrets with me and tells me all the time he is never moving out and will be with me forever. He is 7 , and my mystical powers will wear off soon enough and he won't even acknowledge me one day. I do laugh so much with him and he reminds me to let things that upset me go so I can laugh again.
Both of them are smart kids. But they are more than my sons ; the are my teachers as well.
I have been challenged by them both and each at different times in my life, but never have I looked back and not found the lessons they taught me. They inspire me to pursue so many things and never give up. I will try not to let them down.
When they were little and cried I learned to be patient and find ways of distracting them from their tears.
When they were older asked me questions, yes at the same time, I learned to pay attention and answer what they asked. They didn't always like the answer but that wasn't the point.
When they help me laugh I know that they are here on earth to keep me focused and to realize how rich I really am.
When they hug me I know that no matter what, that each bond is clear and they know my love is endless and true.
Having them in my life has brought adventures, worries, challenges, and happiness into my life.
You know when they say count your blessings … I always look at them and the first 2 blessings are right there !
