boys will be boys.

AND

I LOVE mine!

Sitting here thinking of my Talon, and leaving him for 3 days is causing a burning sensation in my chest... a little... Ok, a LOT... The love of my life will be fine without me, but will I be fine without him? God, I'm gonna miss him.

a change of subject.

I have been sitting here the past few hours reading my new beloved obsession (NieNie), this is a blog of a Mormon Mommy, whom Mommy's five gloriously cheerful, and beautiful children. About three months ago this devoted housewife and her cherished husband Mr. Nielson were the result of a tragic plane crash, two burn victims, now barley surviving in critical conditions doomed to their lifeless bodies and chemically induced coma's. All I can say is, thank goodness today is an empty office day, because the tears have been flowing like a raging river...

First I started with NieNie's blog. I started with her most recent blog, curious as to why I had been seeing her button/link on so many blogs I have recently discovered. What I found in this blog was eye opening, the sort of things she said, the way she mothered her five children so gracefully, happily, and positively, and how she adored her husband just as much as her five beautiful children really took me by surprise... She is the kind of women I would only imagine to read of in a book. She is without a doubt a Mother I look up to for many reasons, and she is beautiful, smart, funny, talented, diverse, and she loves everything vintage! In my eye's she seems too close to perfect, it's not even funny! As I read on, I was a little confused, so I looked to her about me section to maybe get a little more informed. What I read was heart retching...

Nie Nie and her beloved Mr. Nielson are currently recovering from critical burns sustained in an airplane crash August 16, 2008. We are re-posting some of her archives and keeping her blogging spirit alive.

So I read on, and on... I had nearly read half her blogs which started in September of 2005, when I decided I NEEDED to know how her and her beloved Mr. Nielson were doing... I than found her sisters blog, where I learned of nothing but good news... They are both still in the recovery process, but NieNie-Steph recently sat up in her bed! Tears streamed down my face to read of the good news. And my heart just about burst with gratitude for her remarkable sister that has taken on the challenge of NieNie's five children, while also mothering her new born son. The family is surviving and doing as well as to be expected! My heart has hope massive amounts of hope for this beautiful family. These strong, brave, and graceful women reminded me of so much today...

Sometimes I get so caught up in my own life, that I am blinded from the things that are really so important to me.

My son. My Talon. He is everything. He is my life, he holds my heart in the palm of his hand, and all I want is for him to know this love. That is all I need. That is enough to keep me happy for the rest of my lifetime. I could never love another the same way I love Talon, this love is unique, it is God sent. This love is everything to me... I don't know where I would be without my nose picking, super hero loving, candy feigning, currently streaking, brown eyed beauty...

Thank God I have Talon. Thank God.
