Okay. That was awesome. And it made me realize that I witnessed a true Christmas miracle last week. I strolled Owen over just to look at Santa in the mall to maybe, you know, let him get used to the idea of such a thing before his parents did the big photo op. And right as we got there, a little boy, about three maybe, was on Santa's lap and he was obviously in heaven to be there. He hugged Santa like that man was his long-lost grandpa, come back from the dead. It was so sweet that for a moment, the grinch within me shut up. Don't worry. He came back.
Who is the little one in your photo at the top? And Mia......she just keeps getting more and more beautiful by the day....which she started out oh so beautiful.
"it occurred to me that the only real sin you can commit as a mother is to deny your children's right to be who they are and what they want to be and that the only real sin you can commit against yourself is to deny who you truly are and prevent yourself from being who that is"

"Don't worry. It's going to be ok. It's going to suck. You'll be smashed to smithereens. You'll be built back up again. You'll be more YOU than you'd ever imagined. It's going to be ok."
