My boys

One thing that I have really resented since my mom died is not having her here for parenting advice. There are so many things that I have wanted to ask her and so many situations that I would like to know how she handled, or what her feelings where

 Growing up my family was very isolated. We have a huge extended family which we love and know that they love us. However being the only members of the church on either side has always isolated us, then moving to Magrath brought us further together. We learnt to love each other and play together when we were little and we have carried that on with us as we aged. i love my family, I love the structure of our family.  Each of us siblings shares a strong bond and to this day we all have strong relationships with each other. It doesn't matter whether we are sisters or brothers, or whether there are 2 years between us or 12 we just genuinely like each other. 

Since becoming a mom and having 2 boys for some reason I have gotten caught up in the want of a little girl. I always felt like I would end up left out as my children aged without a girl. I worried that my boys would get into boy things and I would be all by my lonesome. Lately however, I have started to recognize qualities in my boys from my childhood. They genuinely love each other. And when they look at me I know that they love me more than anything in the world. No matter how boyish they are as they age I know there will always be room for me in there lives. 

I feel so lucky to be their mom!!
