Those shining stars who get under our skin, who capture our hearts, who take us beyond what we ever knew about love. Those shining stars, those who we love, and love us in return.
Have you ever known a love like that? Someone who is your star, who leads you?
Star light.
Star bright.
What happiness I feel when I am around my children. Just being with them and watching them become who they are. How fortunate I feel loving them, knowing they love me, and trust me.
I loved being their mother when they were babies. I remember thinking that each age: Newborn, Two, Five, Seven, Ten, Fourteen, Sixteen, Twenty… was the best and couldn't imagine that it would be better. I was happily wrong.
I love that they love each other. That they get along, are never jealous and are there for each other. I am happy to watch them at a distant and or close at hand. I wish I would swallow them whole, but do what I can to stand back and let them be. Have you ever wanted to hold someone forever?
I wish they would live under our roof, or at least next door forever.
First star I see at night.
I know I am being gushy and proud, but that is what happens when I spend unlimited time with these two.
They make me happy even when….
(Goofing off but I like it.)
… I have to take ten thousand photos (and I am not exaggerating no matter what Chelsea says!) of Chelsea to have ten without her making a face. Okay let's say that Chelsea likes to make faces, though when I beg her not too, she will smile briefly and sometimes I am lucky to catch it before she goofs off again. And what is really, utterly strange is Chelsea is the more serious one out of the two of these potato heads. And Sacha rarely goofs off in front of the camera, well with me that is.
One day Chelsea will probably marry and when she does I am certain her wedding photo will be one with her making a face. And if not I'll cry.
These two shining stars I have made my wishes come true.
