Life can be super-tough some days. Even some weeks, months, and years can be full of challenges and heartbreak. For me, though, I cherish so much that no matter how crappy things seem, I have two huge reasons to be happy... two huge reasons to be thankful for every sip of air I get to breathe.
Despite how much I dread mornings, the one thing I look forward to in the early part of each day is hearing, "Good morning, Mommy! I love you!" from my little loves. I get to hear them smile and see them laugh... these words are not mixed up... I know I can hear them smile. I can feel it inside my soul.
I get to hear this little guy call out, "Wait up, princess!" when we we're going somewhere or watch him get down on one knee and say, "My lady, I honor to you," so I can knight him with his sword.
I get to hear the sweet made-up songs of my precious love, Ella, when she thinks no one is listening. And, her voice is to me what angels must surely sound like when they sing.
Don't get me wrong, there are days when the sounds of their voices have driven me crazy enough to make me rather hear someone scratching their nails down a chalkboard over and over. Everybody needs a break. But, all the time, I know just how fortunate I am to be their mommy... just how lucky I am that they are mine. They are my everyday favorites. My everyday reasons.
