Hugs. I go through these realizations almost weekly. With our three (1, 3, 5) they are moving through stages faster than I ever thought possible. Sometimes the emotion of it nearly bursts from my body at the most unexpected times. It may be just a moment where I notice that a little less baby fat is present in the creases of a dimply toddler smile. And, WOW, I just can't believe it. Sad, yes. But also amazing and miraculous. Aaron is one lucky little boy, but I'm sure you don't need anyone telling you that. :) .-= 2Shaye´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MillerMemories/~3/XI_MzvNk1Hg/oo-boobaphobia.html" rel="nofollow">(o)(o) Boobaphobia</a> =-.

I miss him being a little one, but I look forward to great political debates... oh, we will play music together, soon... Can you see him playing the piano and me the guitar? We will let you play the drums... but no singing. You know there are only so many musical keys and you go through all of them in a hurry :) The best thing in the world is to be Aaron’s parents… and yes, you are a great mother.

When we work at it, or are reminded, then we get it - otherwise, there is always something that could be different or improved. I am constantly in the process of making peace with the fact that no one will ever call me "Mommy." It still breaks my heart most of the time, but I am learning to recognize the positives of being childless. It sounds like you, in the midst of mourning the loss of your baby, were reminded of the positives of being mother to a glorious, energetic, intelligent *growing* boy. .-= Violet´s last blog ..<a href="http://violetinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-first-friday-fill-in.html" rel="nofollow">My First Friday Fill-IN</a> =-.
