Through a son's eyes

One role that I never knew how I'd be was my most important role, a mom.  Growing up I never was one of those girls who couldn't wait to get married and have children of her own.  In fact that thought only even began after I met the most amazing man, now my husband and best friend.

Our sons are quite remarkable.  We are extremely blessed.

Something that we started to do a couple of years ago was the keeping of special things they say or do.  Z and D love hearing what we record in their books.  The last entry in D's book is probably going to be one of the entries I will love hearing.

We were cuddling on the couch watching a program when a Victoria's Secret commercial came on.  D guffawed at the women in their underwear, and I said, "They're beautiful and look healthy."

D asked, "You think they are pretty?"

"Yes, I do."

Then the most amazing thing sprang from his lips, "I think you're prettier than they are."

He has no idea how that statement will live with me forever.  I hope he always sees me with so much love in his eyes.
