Magic!

Do you remember as a child when your mom or dad came into the room and somehow it made everything better? I remember once, very vividly for some reason having a particularly hard day. I was probably 12. I was having one of those cry yourself to sleep nights when out of the blue my mom came in the room, snuggled up next to me in my bed and just laid by me until I was asleep. It was magic how quickly everything was better. Last night I realized that now I am also magical. I guess it is something I inherited almost 6 years ago when that tiny baby was placed into my arms, but it didn't really hit me until last night. Carter had a rough night, growing pains I think, but somehow bringing him into our room and snuggling him tight made him feel all better. His little arms snuggled around mine as tight as he could and soon my magic made it all better. Sometimes you don't realize what you mean to someone until you snuggle your little child and realize that you are his mom and nothing could ever take your place! Enjoy your kids....because you are their mom... and because you are magic!

This was so sweet! I never thought of describing it as magic but that is exactly what it is. Just having mom close makes everything all better! The tears quickly go away and our kids feel safe in our arms! Thanks for reminding us how important it is to BE in their life!
