Anniversary

I have posted 192 posts in four years. I have not been as current as I would like. I have lagged this year. I am grateful for social media as I use it for my quick thoughts. It is my memory bank. I return to it later and journal here. Hey, at least I am showing up. I warn you not to expect much in terms of your baby books. Those are bare bones.

Anyway, when I started this for you boys I didn't know what life it would take. I am proud of the stories in here. I randomly click through and get midday laughs or a late night cry. In these posts is a treasure trove of memories. I was creating a gift for you, but now I see it is a gift to me.

Many people tell me to enjoy these days. It goes by so quickly. I will want it back and miss these crazy times. ETC. You know what? I may not be able to physically return to this place in time, but I revisit it vividly here. When I read through this blog it allows me to return to those far away days. In my words I return to the place, time, smell and surroundings as if I were back in time. I am blessed to have recorded this time in our lives together. I am realizing it does go by fast-- way to fast.

Parents say they will not forget the milestones or what at the time seems like a large event. However, these "large" events eventually are over shadowed by larger (more current) milestones and events. Eventually, what we  thought we would not forget we do. I know this because of the stories I have recorded here. I reread and it takes me back. I am reminded of what I have forgotten.

I am so grateful to have created this. I cannot be disappointed that I have been relaxed the better part of the year, for it is the keeper of us. I look forward to the pages in our life, which are unwritten; and a time when I can return to this place and relive those pages. I love you boys arms are extended and I am circling my chair. I love your guts. I love your faces. This is is for us.

Happy 4th anniversary to our story.
