More soon!

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then y’all must be missing me pretty badly and if not, then let me say that at least I have been missing y’all! The blogger in me is furious with the wife, mom, nurse, sister, daughter, friend, seamstress – you get the point – all my other roles have definitely prevented me from blogging – but not right this second… I’m blogging despite the 10,000 things that need to be done!

Jackson is playing baseball like a pro – seriously, this is his first season of live arm and while it is a much slower pace – to see my baby boy pitch is something else. My heart flips and flutters – when did my little boy, so skinny and fragile, turn into a man? While I know that I can write a book about the literal answer to that question – my heart just doesn’t get it. Life moves so quickly and even when you have one million memories in your mind and plenty of pictures stamped into your head – sometimes your heart just doesn’t get it. I’ve never been so proud of him but more importantly, I can tell that he has never been so proud of himself!

I wish my Daddy was here to see him – while I know that Daddy is watching from his own baseball fields in heaven – I would love to see him smile. Through the pain and hurt, I know that I can close my eyes, reach for one of those memories stamped forever in my mind – I feel peace. I can see my Daddy smiling at Jackson over and over – from the day the tear rolled out of his eye when Jackson was born until he came to his last baseball game – Jackson always made my Daddy smile – he just has that effect on people.

Well, the patients in the ER await me – the dance studio awaits Greer – and homework awaits Jackson – Mark gets to see that it all gets done, at least while I’m away. There is no doubt that I would not be such a spectacular wife, mom, nurse, etc. without Mark – he is nothing short of amazing – God brought him to me in perfect time.

That's it for now.. more soon!

Any Questions?
