"What for?" they whine.
Because you are all that is beautiful, I command.
Because you are my heart, and my life, I order.
Sometimes mom-love is militant, and while it inconveniences them in times of ease, it comforts when the storm rolls in.
We walked home through the forest in comradery after that, lugging all the things we had brought with us, when suddenly the boy-man folded his hand over mine and took my heavy bag from me.
"Let me carry your bag, mom, it's heavy."
And the comfort during the storms of life comes crashing back my way... If only I could take a picture of that, my heart sighs.

Très très jolies photos de la belle Toscane. Et combien émouvant ton poste de ce matin! Oui, les enfants arrivent dans notre vie, ils chamboulent tout, et un jour ils vont leur propre chemin... snif,snif!
Nice thoughts today, I think many of us found a special comfort with our mothers.
amazing how fast they grow up
It is not easy to raise children and there are so many different thoughts on the subject but one true thing...do it with love and you will reap the blessings as you are already experiencing.
oh this was so beautiful. and intensely touching, allison...
If I had children, you would be the mother I'd most like to be like. Unfortunately, dreams and reality are not the same. I thank my lucky stars that I found a fellow who is similar to your Russian - loving and supportive in every way. Does your family ever read your blog regularly? Again, thank you for sharing your inner thoughts, Allison.
Oh how sweet! It's so nice to get to a point and know that you did indeed do it right, at least a little bit. I like the "mom-live is militant" bit, hehe. ;)
What a wonderful young man you have raised.
Hi Allison,
What a lovely idea to take a photo of your loved ones.
Being a mum can be hard work but it is the absolute best job that anyone could ever have.
I adore being a mum and know that you do too.
Enjoy your family.

Allison, your heart and mind has that moment embedded in your sole that no picture could capture.
Love by the sea, never fads.

Some things are better experienced without pictures, I think. :)
Moments like that never leave our hearts, trust me.
A very sweet and simple post on the fleetingness of childhood from a mother's perspective.
No words I write here could match the beauty of your post. I love your heart, dear friend!
Love always,
Debbie
What a sweet kid. It only takes a small gesture like that to make us moms melt.
