I have two boys are just the most amazing kids in the world. I have been away from them for a long time because of my line of work. My mom has does an amazing job in raising them. I could not thank her enough for what she does. I have been stationed on a ship for the most part of my career so I was pretty much a weekend mom. I drove up to NY every other weekend and took off four days out the month to see them. While any time I spend with them is important it took away from us getting to know each other. I took orders to be recruiting and I am seeing first hand what I had been missing out. I get to wake up with them every morning and take Jules to school. I spend weekends with them and we get to go to museums and movies. I make them breakfast and we have our trips to the diner (the boys let me know when my cooking is not up to par). This time with them made me see that regardless of whether I am in a relationship or not these two will be there. These two wonderful little boys love me unconditionally that they don't care about weight, how my hair looks. They just want to know that mom is going to be there when they go to sleep and when they wake up. I am blessed to have this time with them and that I don't get to miss out on the important things like birthdays and holidays and school plays.
Too many times we fail to see how much we really have. We can focus to much on what we are lacking and neglect those around us. I want my children to be able to say their mother was there and that she loved them. I don't want them to think of me as just some part time figure. It is all up to me and the decisions that I make.
