"ME, THEN"

Once upon a time I was able to hold my beautiful, identical twin boys and marvel at how perfectly formed they were and what good weights they were for twins. I cried for all the lost moments we would wonder about for eternity.
Once upon a time I held another little, tousle-haired, blue-eyed boy as he fed continuously and kept me awake for nights on end. I laughed with him and challenged his curiosity and tried to answer his infinite stream of questions as he grew to be a charming, talented young man.
That was me, then!
I can still recall those precious moments like they were yesterday.
Once upon a time I cried tears of happiness when I heard my little baby girl cry for the first time. I felt guilty that a sound that called for a basic need could bring me so much joy! But, to me, at that time, it was the best sound ever!! I couldn't get enough of her perfectly-formed smile and her bright eyes.
That was me, then!
Now,... I still can't get enough of her gorgeous smile and her big, blue eyes. I hate to see her crying but I love just being there when she needs me! I am amazed at how lucky I am to be the Mum of such a well-rounded individual.
I am a Mum to four very beautiful children!!
But me, NOW is just thankful for every minute I have had with each of my boys and for every minute I get to spend with my girl and my man!
That's me...NOW!
