As DR Laura always says "I am my kids mother!"
I will always be their mama, regardless of their age. They know I am here for them for always. I thank the Lord my babies feel comfortable talking to me about anything & everything. We are so blessed to have Payton, Darla, Elijah, & Nolan entrusted to our care.
I look forward to spending my life encouraging & supporting my children. I smile thinking about the future dinners we will someday get to share with our adult children & their families. All the new memories with our growing family excite me to no end! The thought of babysitting our grandbabies, ensuring mama & papa get plenty of alone time nurturing their marriage, thrills me! I no doubt will giggle with delight to make my kids wedding anniversary cards-what a grand accomplishment in todays world, will never forget a birthday-afterall they are my most favorite days of the year, attend school functions, come over & help fold laundry, or whatever my kids would appreciate. I know a lot of women a generation ahead of me might be laughing at me. They are probably sighing "You just wait Amy...you will be busy with another phase of life... tired and too busy to do all these things you dream of above." And true as it may be for many.... I will defy the odds because "I am my kids mother!" They are my life and my interest in their lives doesn't decrease when they turn 18 & move away. I do, however, look forward to doing a little bit less laundry & less driving them to & fro.

With ya babe! Not that I don't hope for a few years between them leaving me with an empty nest and a empty laundry room and them dropping off the grandkids on their way to dinner with their lovely spouses, and no doubt I'll be busy earning an income, but I look forward to the privilege of being a part of my grandkids' and adult kids' lives.
