I think of you…
All day… every day…
You are such an integral part of my life.
I can’t not think about you.
I am always telling someone
How cool you are,
How beautiful you are,
How imaginative and unique you are.
I tell them stories about our time together—
Conversations we’ve had,
Things we’ve laughed about,
Frustrations we’ve dealt with,
The normal interactions of family life,
The growing pains,
The aches and sorrows of moments lost.
All of those things wear on me
And at the same time
Buoy me up through difficult days.
I know I will see you again.
I count the days, the hours, the minutes
Till you run to me and wrap your arms around me,
Telling me how much you missed me,
How much you love me,
How glad you are that we are together again.
There is nothing quite like being with you!
And I can never tell you
Often enough, loud enough, long enough that
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.
To My Children
