A few days ago, I took my 3-year-old to the zoo. I knew that it was going to be an adventure but I didn't know it was going to be emotional for me. We set sail to the zoo to see the animals. He, of course, didn't want to go. He wanted to stay at home and play. I stuck to my plan and took him to the zoo (even though it would have been nice to use the child as the scapegoat and not go). During our time there, he was so excited to see the zebras and ostrich and parrot and giraffe and and and...! But I think I was more excited because I got a chance to really enjoy him.
Working full-time since he was 2-months old kept me away from really see him grow. Workoing full-time didn't allow me the chance to see how funny he is and how caring that he is. When you're tired and stressed you miss those things. My free day at the zoo made me count my blessings at the gift of a son who really does like his Mommy.
I grieve over much but rarely rejoice over the little. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to share space with him even if it is only for 15 more years. ;-)
Blessings to you,
Mommy Aurellia
