Happy Days

November 14, 2009 · Posted in family, friends, gratitude, home 

My son came home for the weekend last night. He just gave me a hug and said “I love waking up here”. I can’t express how good that feels to me. I miss him so much that I can’t think about it anymore when he is away. When he is here it is a joy. He looks fabulously healthy and makes me laugh with the tales of his adventures.

I wasn’t expecting him until today. His friends piled into the house shortly after he entered last night.  We all talked about how much we love him and I feel incredibly proud of him and the fun he brings to others. I know that were he to live here all the time, we probably wouldn’t be so endeared to one another. Having the house full of music, laughter, gossip and exotic beverages is a pleasure only enjoyed in small doses for me. I feel blessed though with the amount of it I get. I didn’t stay up all night though like last time. I really need to take care of myself at this time of the year so I can get through the rest of the term.

    This post really gives me heart. Last week I wrote on Does it really get harder??? as your children get older. It sounds like you have missed the company of your son and truly enjoy spending time with him. So nice to read that.
