Some days, I can’t wait for you guys to grow up.
Other days, I wish that time would just be still.
Some days, I wonder what made me even think about childbirth and procreation.
Other days, I wonder what grace has given us this beautiful privilege to have you both in our lives.
Some days, I slip into an abyss, overwhelmed, angry and defeated.
Other days, I’m contented, mostly because you guys are too.
Some days, I wonder about life on the other side - as a carefree woman, worker, wife.
Other days, I cry upon thinking paranoid thoughts of what life would be like without you.
Some days, you blow my stresses away by your funny words and uninhibited displays of love and wonder.
Other days, you add weight to my already heavy heart.
Some days, you drive me up the wall.
Other days, you make me double up in laughter.
I never knew the intensity of human emotion
Until you wandered into my life.
Regardless of these ups and downs (that I’m now used to)
I realise that all of these are but a whisper
When compared to the joy of eternity
That I will get to savour with you.
Children, my children,
You give me a taste of the glory of heaven.
And help me look forward to the days to come.
Love you both with a love that’s bigger than my own,
mummee

You’re so right, nerdymum.”Some days” are better than “other days…”
Love this, so well-written! You’ve captured the emotions of a mother’s heart so beautifully. I can so identify with what you’ve written. The intensity of human emotions… so true.
