I'm Present

The last few days have been a whirlwind of emotion for this mama.
My boys are big.
They are all over 6' tall.
They are busy.
They are independent.
They are mature.
They have needed their mama in abundance the last few days...
More than usual. 

And I've been present.
For all of it.
I have been right where they needed me to be, right when they needed me to be there.

My sweet Peanut had a pretty rough weekend.
He didn't leave my side for over 24 hours.
And I was there.

My sweet Bubba needed his mama yesterday.
All the way from Chile.
He called twice.
He cried.
He just wanted his mama.
And I was there.
On the phone... but present for him. 

It hasn't always been this way.
Although I've been "there," I haven't always been present.
I haven't always been present enough for them emotionally, spiritually or mentally.
This was my real reason for going to therapy and treatment.
I knew that I needed to get better for them.
They needed a healthy, present mama.
Who could listen and really hear them.
Who could listen to the Spirit and really help them.
Who was not distracted by everything else.

And I've done it.
And I'm here.
And I am beyond grateful that I'm learning every single day to do and to be better.
