Greatly Blessed, Highly Favored & Deeply Loved.

"Hold on, to me as we go

As we roll down this unfamiliar road

And although this wave is stringing us along

Just know you're not alone

Cause I'm going to make this place your home"

So I came home last night, and in an effort to see some glimpse of me for just a fleeting minute, my husband had dragged our queen sized mattress up our winding stairs and set up a "sleep over" bed in the living room to meet me at. I mean, really.

I got to hang out w/ my son all day today, and in the middle of a movie we were watching, he cuddles up to me, looks me in the eye and says, "Mom, I love you" and lays back on my shoulder.

It's times like these, when I have to take a deep breath.

 All this for me?

Are you sure?

It's like winning the lottery, but not recalling you bought a ticket.

Do I really get to keep this?

Or at any time, is someone going to come knocking on my door, reclaiming what was mistakenly awarded to me?

I know that "lucky" does not begin to describe what I have.

I have been bestowed two glowing sources of love, strength and warmth.

I could have nothing, no earthly possession in the world, and still I would involuntarily smile at the sight of my loves.

They are what keep my head on straight, my feet moving forward.

The are my drive, propelling me to Be Better.

I can't think of one thing, one thing on Earth that I value more than these two.

It's amazing what kind of fierce love you are capable of blindly developing.

I was not aware of what was cultivating.

I was not actively trying nor did I consciously attempt to build value in these people or the life we share.

And yet, I would end life for them.

Without a moments hesitation.

I would suffer. I would cry. I would even change.

If only one of them deemed it necessary.

"Love" is a trivial description.

A surface title.

A fledgling emotion compared to the infinite I have for these two.

There is nothing greater.
