thankful thursday

today has been one of those days – a good one and one that reminds me about the joys of being a parent and how thankful i am to have been picked to raise the ones entrusted to me.  it is hard to believe our youngest isn’t so young anymore and our oldest is almost driving age – they grow up so fast.  i am thankful that i get to be a part of and witness their youth, their innocence, their curiosity, their ups, their downs, their successes, and their failures.  i look forward to what it will be like to parent them into their teens and let go when they are ready (i might not be, but when the time is right for them) . . . i am thankful i get to be their mom.
