The love of a child...

Tonight I had the great opportunity to have just a simple evening with my son Aaron while my hubbie and older son were away hunting.  Aaron is 10, and I adore him.  Our family's joke is that Aaron has been trying to get back into the womb since he came out.  He has always been a bit of a shadow; hovering near me at all times.  Unlike my older son Sam who is fiercely independent, Aaron is a true "Mama's Boy".  They are as different as night and day, but each is extraordinary to me:)  Tonight as Aaron and I were snuggled under a blanket watching a movie, he reached up, touched my face and said, "I love you mama". It took my breath away.  He was so sincere.  So many times I feel like a complete failure as a mom.  I get too busy, I don't always remember everything I should and I yell too much.   I wonder sometimes why God would trust me with such percious things as these sweet boys.  But tonight, I felt no guilt or doubt.  Tonight, God used Aaron to show me that I am not a failure... I am just a Mommy who loves her babies, and they love her right back. Hug those you love tonight and tell them you love them, then thank the one who gave them to you.  Be blessed
