It was a great day, for starters it’s Saturday and that alone sets up for a great day. I started the day with a cup of coffee and great conversation with my husband, the morning then moved to a workout out in the garage together. After that we cleaned ourselves up and ran some fun errands with my middle sons girlfriend. Once errands were complete we headed over to my in-laws for good food, more great conversation, and relaxation.
Once we finally arrived home for the night I had a package waiting for me. It was from my youngest sons girlfriend, it made me cry. It was a tank top that had a silhouette of a bear and it simply said “mama bear”. It was perfect! I’ve been referred to that term numerous times. I tend to be fiercely protective. After quickly changing into the new tank and gathering my emotions I found myself sitting in the loft with two of my sons, my middle sons girlfriend, my husband, and my two golden retrievers. I was watching the shenanigans going on around me and found myself smiling from ear to ear and wanting to cry at the same time. This brings me to the reason for the title of this blog. Why is it you can have such a wonderful day, feel the fullness in your heart, and then want to cry all at the same time?!
I may have what appears to be the answer, at least for today. Do you ever just want to physically hold onto something so tightly that you never lose it?! I love what was going on around me and I just don’t want it to end, but I know all things do come to an end. However there will be a new beginning then too, and for that I’m thankful. So for now I’m going to leave this post at this and go ponder on this topic for a bit more. I may come back to it again in the future, I have a feeling there will be more of these moments ahead! Until next time.
