Yesterday I watched Lauren and Josh with their brand new daughter. Matilda! Full of joy, charm and mischief. Her eyes sparkle at all things new. She is quick to cry as it is her only way to share her hurt right now. Soon she will be walking and talking, progressing our relationship with her to another level of communication and adventures.
I watched, Josh, Lauren, Matilda and Jami yesterday. Amazing food, much laughter, baby squels, pug dogs, birthday gifts and family. The feeling was warm and full of wishes for the future.
I wish for them as Family, warm moments, true friendships and honesty. Christmas's: with to much food and love. Birthdays: with gifts, sunshine and love. Trying family moments: I wish them patience, love, logic, love, honesty and love.
Years ago, when Lauren was born, my Mother was a rock. Come to think of it, throughout my entire life, Mother was a rock. She was loved by everyone. When she died, family life crumbled. I believe that if the topic of family had been discussed before her death, many things would be different right now.
We cannot always look back with tears in our eyes, but today I would love for Mother to see Lauren and the woman that she has become. (Jami,too) I look back with tears in my eyes today, using the past, as lessons for today. Lauren's birthday.
On this special day, when reflections of the past feel so real to me, Lauren, I wish you happiness always, many smiles and moments to remember.
Love you beyond the moon.
Mother
