First and Last

Hooray!! Our first full sentence. At least that was understood by mommy. As she is trying oh so hard to move her fisher price slide across the room, upon picking it up she screams "It's too heavy!" Clear as day! Then drops and runs to me, putting her little hand in mine, dragging me to the slide for assistance.

Funny how her first full sentence is "it's too heavy". It's like she was reading my mind. My life at this point has been one heavy slide after another, always putting my little hand into another to get help through it. 


Finally finding the "one" who I thought would be there through every lift of life has gone his separate way. Which of course includes me forcing him his own separate way. It is officially over, 6 years, on and off of course. Back to Single Mom 101, have not quite graduated to 102. He was there from the beginning, dedicated help from mysterious man. So this is what it feels like to be a single mom? The man who loved Junebug just like she was his own, the man who loved mommy dearest like no man has ever loved her before, the man who stole both of our hearts right out the front door. Heres goodbye to you...

But now we are back where we are supposed to be. Junebug and Mommy dearest, together forever. Teaching each other new things everyday. Realizing that when its too heavy, the pat on my back from her little hand as I'm rocking her to sleep reassures me that everything little thing is gonna be alight.
