For Mothers

Mothers laugh, and mothers cry, only to see their babies first steps. Throughout their childhood, and adolescent years, all the way to adulthood. First we soothed them through the night, and then we kissed their scrapes goodbye. Then we saw them of to school, and before you knew it you were looking for colleges for him or her.Once they have flown away to a land of their own. There grows an emptiness inside you, It is the laughter, and the tears. The little pecks goodnight, and the I love yous. That you miss to hear from your child's voice that you use to hear. When I was young I would wish away my years so quickly. though now that I am so much older.Oh, what I would do to turn back time to be with my child back when he was just a baby. Is one ever satisfied with what one truly has. Yet do we just all what different things in reverse times in ones life. Is that what makes it the circle of life. Something we can all ponder or believe.

Not enough time...

A few years back. I had met the most inspiring person I had ever met in my life. This person taught me how to laugh, love,and be happy with who I was each and everyday. We were both in recovery for alcoholism Though, I had just begun my journey and he had 7 years under his belt. I know the newbies are not to be hanging out with the old timers however it just worked for us. I was on the so called "pink cloud" when we met up. It is like a high you don't want to come down from. However it does not last forever. So our friendship flourished into something we had never expected to. Months had gone by so quickly, soon I was back on track with my life again. For the first time in almost 18 years I was happy with myself. It was almost euphoric, I loved my life. Then when all was so wonderful I was leaving for work one Saturday night. My phone rang it was my Friend he said please come quick I need you. I drove over immediately. He was only 41 within 10 to 15 minutes he had died of a heart attack. I gave him CPR there was nothing I could do. He was so special to me. We just did not have enough time together.
