Days like today I only wish I could be a little girl again and love on my father. He is a great man that I wish I could spend more time with. Even though he is still living, we just don't live close anymore. I saw the sacrifice he made for me and my siblings growing up but didn't realize how much he was sacrificing until I grew up and too have had to do the same.

As each of you spend today with your children and skids...cherish these moments. You never know when they grow up how far away you may be with them. Give them those memories my father and SF gave to me.

I say this because days like today make me happy and sad. Happy to have fond thoughts of my own parents and sad that I do not yet have kids of my own that I can wake up to begin the crazy day with their little feet running wild. I love my SSs but until I get a child I carried for 9 months and gave birth to, I don't think I will ever feel complete. Hubby and I are going on 1 yr and months of trying to get preggo and nothing so far. Every month when mother nature comes, a little part of me cries. This week when I see my SSs I will cry even more wishing I could give them a half-brother (I'd like a girl of course) like they are asking for. Being a parent, in my eyes, is the best thing that life can give us. I just can't wait for my day...I am being as patient as I can be.
