I have been thinking tonight about how easy it is to take the ones we love the most for granted. I loved my kids with such a strong love from before they were born and I appreciated them and spent time with them. I wouldnt work outside our home until Caleb and Coleman were in school and Clay was only months away from preschool. I tried to make everything exciting for them. Christmas cookies and Easter eggs. I always told them the story of Christs birth and His death and His resurrection. I believed that God gave those babies to me as a blessing and he trusted me to raise then up in the love and adoration of Jesus Christ. In the fall we would dress then up cute and we would carve pumpkins. We took them to magic springs almost every weekend over the summer they loved it. We would stay in a motel. And order pizza they loved all that fun. As they get older and start doing things outside our family group. Go say with a friend. So they are older and the have other things to do. This was hard on me because I wanted to spend time with my kids like it had always been. They were growing up and with life being life I started to feel like we were taking each other for granted . But there were times that we were together like one spring break I took off work and we fished abs ate snacks and talked and had great fun . I say that I dont take my kids for granted. I try hard not to. I would spend one on one time with each of the shopping going out to eat. I never knew that I would only have almost 14 years with Coleman but that is all I would all go his life I tried to make sure how much I loved him. I think on my last birthday before he got sick we were all together all my loved ones at my surprise birthday that my kids had for me . It was such a happy day for me the best birthday I ever had . That was in September Coleman passed away in October, God knew that I needed that time with my boys all together because only weeks later Coleman was fighting for his life. The last normal conversation I had with him before the seizures started. Was so sweet he seemed like an angel talking to me. I guess Im saying all this to remind everyone to love your family spend times with then talk to then be there friend to a certain extent. Make sure they know how much you love them, not form what you buy them but the time you spend with then. I would do anything if I could go back in time and be his mom all over again I would make sure that he was never bitten by a mosquito. Cherish your babies because one day they may not be here to cherish................... Trusting God Colemans mom
