Family sessions & Motherhood Digressions
Hello June, you beautiful month of the summer solstice~
And also, this is the month of my boys’ birthdays.
Dorian, the oldest, is on the 8th, and Daxon, my youngest, is on the 10th. There are three years between them. When they were little, I always had their birthdays together. Money was tight, and it just made sense. I remember scrounging to afford two birthday gifts with one pay cheque. Back in those days, trying to budget in extras on any given month was a struggle.
Oh, the days of single mothering. I don’t miss them for many reasons. They were hard, and boy, do I have so many regrets, on parenting and otherwise.
I do miss those little boys so much sometimes, my heart wants to break. I wish I had taken more moments to sit with them when they wanted up on my lap. Snuggle extra long at bedtime tuck-ins. Read the story one more time. Melt into their little arms when they just wanted a hug. Smell their hair and rock them for a few more minutes. But those days are long gone.
The boys are now in their late 30s. It’s hard to wrap my head around. Seems like yesterday, but at the same moment it feels like a lifetime ago. Where did the time go?
Those little boys are now replaced with strong, amazing men. Handsome, funny and smart, with good jobs, wonderful family, and relationships of their own. Successfully adulting, as they should be. I’m proud of them both, and I guess that’s all a mom can hope for.
Well, that came out of nowhere. Wheres the kleenex?
In honour of the scared and exhausted mom I was, and the most amazing little (babes) boys that they were, I’m promoting some mini family sessions for the month of June.
