Love and kisses

Every single day for as long as I remember, Emily has given me a kiss before we part ways and greeted me as if we hadn’t seen each other in weeks every time we are reunited.

We say “I love you” multiple times a day in both French and English.

She asks me “do you know how much I love you?” Than we try to always find something bigger.

I am a spoiled mom.

As she is now a teenager, I was expecting this change in attitude where she would suddenly be too old for love and kisses.

Well… I am truly spoiled as I get hugs, kisses and I love you still. She is not worried about being seen with us and couldn’t care less about showing us affection in public.

The day started a little bumpy today so I’m gonna hold on to this knowledge that although from time to time I have moments where I think that her constant challenges are a pain in the a**, that life is stressful and so on… I am blessed with a husband a child who love me. A Lot, big like an elephant πŸ˜‰

My 3 favorite girls

I am lucky to have 3 really important girls in my life…

My mom
Myself
My daughter

They are so important to me that I had to write it up somewhere in permanent ink!

Anyone who wants to tell me the symbols mean dog and cats… Don’t bother, I had them verified first…

As I am sitting on my couch watching my mom and daughter play the Wii, I feel blessed.

My mom was and still is a great mom. She was the kind of mom that made me want to be a mom one day and try my best to be like her.

I’m close…. Except I wouldn’t be a kindergarten teacher… I don’t have that kind of patience.

😳

As I am sitting on my couch looking at them, I am at peace with the cards life dealt me…

“It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you’ve got.”

Whoever wrote that, got it!

I want what I have and I wake-up thankful to the world for it and go to bed wondering what I did to deserve so much love…

From my divorced parents and their respective spouses, from my husband, from my daughter…

Is my life easy? Hell no!

Would I change anything? … Well, I could always used more money πŸ˜‰but I wouldn’t trade anyone or change them.

As I am sitting on my couch looking at my mom and daughter… I am happy!
