Today would have been my brother's 35 birthday. I can't believe it, because in my mind, he's always going to be 14, and that makes me so sad. He was a good kid and I miss him a ton. My kids would have loved him and the fact that they will never know him truly breaks my heart. Tomorrow, we're going to do a family dinner, and I'm looking forward to that, because as I get older, I'm realizing how important family is.
Family is why I spent half the day yesterday with my kids at their school's take your parent to school day. It was a lot of fun to see my kids as individuals as opposed to my babies. M had issues with being seen with me, but since I'm her mom, I guess it's too be expected. She's at that age. X on the other hand came to get me so that I could go with him to his classes. He really wanted to show off in his woods class, and since they were getting introduced to some of the tools, his teacher had X do the honors, so he could show off for me.
Thankfully, I survived their middle school, and there were no major traumas for me to deal with.
I love my kids and they make me so proud.
