So me and my sister have been pregnant with babies and on mat leave on and off together for 3 years now. It's been so amazing to share this time and experience with her. I am realizing today as she gets ready to return to work tomorrow that life will never be quite the same again. And just as I've learned that change is natural and positive, I have also learned to apprciate things in the moment. Without each other I think this time would have been so much tougher on each of us. I know the coffee breaks, texts, cafe o play visits and just plain tired days together will never be forgotten. My sister has always been my best friend, and support and I like to believe I hers. We've been through so many good times together and too many really bad times too. I am SoO happy for her that she's finally found a job she deserves and will be great at! I also get the joy of taking care of my sweet sweet nieces. I know it'll be tough. It's already tough with my own three! But it's such a blessing to have this time with them. William just had his 5th birthday and it always reinforces how precious life is. And how short childhood really is. These babies will be in school and out of my arms in no time. But if I can instill some love, family and happiness in them while I have the time. Heard my favorite Green day song today and I realized how much I want happiness myself too. I want a happy marriage. I want happy children. I want to live a long healthy life surrounded by family and friends. I want to eat well and live comfortably. My life is short too...and Even though the baby making era is through, I have so much to look forward in this life that I step forward with excitement! And say goodbye with pleasant sorrow.
Next step...
