The awesomeness of being someone's mommy!

There are a lot of choices or situations I have put myself in that looking back I might have done differently but having the girls is a decision I will never regret. Each daughter and each situation has taught me so much and made me appreciate things that otherwise I may have overlooked.

When Lauryn was Lyla's age so much was going in life: senior year of high school, dad getting cancer and passing away, starting college, etc. I feel like I did a good job as her mommy but now that I am older and have less other responsibilities I sometimes wonder if she got gypped. I wonder if I fully appreciated the awesomeness of being a mommy.

Yesterday when I came home, like most days, a little girl came up four stairs quickly and walked/ran to her mommy's legs. I am very diligent about washing my hands so before I picked her up I washed my hands in the kitchen sink and picked up the little bundle of excitement. It feels good to have someone love you so much that they cannot wait for you to hold them in your arms and love them back. Lors came following after Lyla to give me a hug. Yes, my teenager still loves hugs and kisses. As Lauryn tries to hug me, Lyla always pushes her out of the way...we laugh because Lyla like Lauryn is very protective of her mommy. LOVE IT!!!
