I am loving these boys getting along today. Laughing and laughing hard with each other. I keep trying to listen in to their conversations but I can't ever catch what it is. Sometimes they get along fabulously and laugh with each other for days then the next moment they are screaming and fighting and instigating beyond belief. This morning was chores, they helped out 110% and I thanked them. Encouraging that kind of behavior, loving all the getting along while it's here because my LORD in the blink of an eye it's OVA!
Guess that's how it is with siblings. I know. I know. I cherish the happy and grit my teeth for the other stuff. Teach them to respect and love and get through the brother stuff. Like Tammy said the other day, boys do say the funniest things. And they DO the funniest things. I mean, sometimes, I just sit there with my jaw hanging open like, 'did he just do that?'..yep, he did. He really did.
Long time ago, almost 20 years ago now, my honey told me to get ready for the ride of my life. He had no idea what he was saying when he said that. It really has been. I can tell, its not even close to being over. Like it. Love it. Cherish it. Very often I ache for the missing one, my missing puzzle piece, the gap in my heart...but I'm so very lucky to have these boys, and they keep our lives very full. Cry for a second and then get sucked like a vacuum into the here and now where I belong. As it should be.
