Dear M,
Today we sat in a car together for 5 hours. When we finally got home and unpacked, you wanted to ride on your scooter with the neighbor boy. I said no. I felt somewhat bad about it. I mean, we had just been sitting in a car together for 5 hours! But I wanted to be near you. I felt the need for a best friend by me. I know it was selfish, but I love the way can make me feel happy...and CRAZY...at the same time.
Dear G,
I slept holding you on my chest last night. It reminded me of our first nights together...how we used to sleep during your first 7 weeks. I would hold you close on my chest listening to your breathing pattern, making sure it was even, making sure you were safe. I remember those nights- and days- were so frightening. I learned so much more about my maternal instincts during that time. You have taught me so much.
