Remembering 9/11

I spent all weekend listening to the radio and the tribute to all those that lost their lives that day, I coulsdnt stop crying, I surely remember where I was that September Day!!! I had ran over to a local scrapbook store with my girlfriend and my mother in law worked their at the time, as I walked in she was in tears, I had asked her what happened and she had been listeing to the radio all morning and filled us in on the terrible news, we left everything and ran home to our families, I woke up my husband from working night shift and we turned on the T.V. and watched it together, I remember that whole day just being silent and dreery, I dont know how to even explain it, I remember the town of Tooele taking their vehicles to the gas stations to fill them up with gas, I remember going to walmart and never seeing it soo empty and quiet in my entire life, it was such a sad day!!!

Thoughts!




So I came across this poem the other day and it really hit me how much my kids are growing up and how there are so many things now that Im starting to miss with them especially these last few difficult years that our family has had to endure, This should be an important time in their lives and instead of enjoying these teenage years with them they are dealing with all these trials and tribulations of seperation and divorce, It breaks my heart to see what the challenges that they are being faced with. As I read this Poem, I thought to myself, thats all I want for my children is to love and protect them and laugh with them and build memories with them and not SWEAT the small stuff, I know I'll always treasure and love the clutter and messes and fingerprints, skateboards, muddy shoes, video games & dirty clothes left on the floor from my kids as they grow because they are growing up soo fast and before you know it they will be gone! I want my home to be a fun, happy home for my children and their friends where they can come and feel comfortable & laugh and play and I want them to have fun and enjoy life because thats what life is all about!!! I love you kiddos and hope you always know that!!! Love your Mom

Handprints

Handprints
Sticky hands and fingers,
Marks left on the wall,
Doors left swinging open,
Muddy footprints in the hall.
Children leave their traces,
Never thinking twice
That Mom and Dad must clean up
With bleach and paint and ice.
It’s often cause for heartache
When Mom’s left with the task,
But sons and daughters sometimes
Just forget to ask.
But how we miss those clean-ups
When the hallways clear,
And we’re left with only mem’ries
Of the sticky handprints dear.
‘Cause kids don’t just leave handprints,
You realize through your tears –
They’re handprints on the heart, Mom,
And they don’t disappear.
