Couples develop ties, best friends share a special bond,
but I’m pretty sure there’s no tie as strong as
the one a mother feels toward her children.
Even when they’re grown and long gone from the house
with families of their own, that tie (at least on mom’s part)
doesn’t feel any ‘less’.
“No kids at home” was hard for me the first few years,
going from a household of ‘6’ to ‘2’.
You’d think one would have been jumping up and down at having more time,
but no.
It can be hard while you’re looking for purpose and place – aside from children.
(Right now you either totally identify with what I’m saying
or you still have kids at home and are thinking “what?!? …)
Thankfully, when the years pass,
you can be reminded of when they were little, or close,
because a picture always takes you back.
“It’s all about time.”
