I’ve been in what I call a grief funk lately. Thinking everything is not fair and woe is me...This week was long and there were lots of happenings for me and the boys. Sports, first HS soccer banquet, my company merged and started Day 1 as a new company on Thursday, a night out with my old team and company, having colleagues move on, dealing with house maintenance, homework, life etc... all without a partner to share these things with who should be here, someone who would always be my sounding board and someone who would just hold my hand.
But then I read something like this photo and realized, there was so much to smile about, there was joy and there was meaning in all that happened to me and the boys this week and prior.
So to focus on the happy and to share all that made me smile is what I will do!
Seeing my boys shine and smile is what makes my heart happy, so very happy, especially after what our new normal has been. I am a proud mom:
Aidan made high honors on his first marking period report card in high school. He was also smiling ear to ear being part of the freshmen soccer team at the banquet.
Keiran tried out for the middle school basketball team, made it and then was told he would be on varsity. He also made the honor roll on his report card for first marking period in 7th grade.
And as for me, I remember...I made it through the week. I made it through a merger. I had smiles, laughs and even hugs from my boys more than once.
