Just a couple of things on my mind, my darling babies. If I have mentioned these before (I think I have), I think they are worth repeating...
* When I am old and gray and perhaps senile, I still want to celebrate my birthday. Please always bring a cake (store bought, please) and balloons and sing to me.
* Along the same lines...if I am indeed demented like my grandmother is, I still want you to tell me things and to keep me updated. If a family member is getting married or having a baby or whatever, tell me. I may not remember but I still want to know. Also, tell me things about us. Remind of me of the stories I once told you over and over again, i.e. the day you were born, your first word, a happy memory of us, etc. Also, I love being read to.
* I believe in true love. I believe that once you find it, you will never forget it. I believe in happily ever after. I believe you give your heart to that one person for life and for eternity. Ask the love of my life to tell you all about it after I am gone; he will know my heart.
* I believe in family. I cannot stand when one person refers to "writing off" or being "written off" by family. We did not choose our family, our Heavily Father did. He had his reasons for putting one person within a family unit. Deal with it. Work it out.
* If I am sick in a hospital bed and I have a dog at home, do anything you need to do to bring the dog to see me. I can only imagine that seeing my sweet, sweet Maggie girl would only improve whatever ailed me.
* The last thing I want you both to know is the deep, deep love I have for both of you. When I had Garrick, I never thought that I could love another person as much as I loved him and then when I had Natalie, my heart grow double in size because there was so much more love to be shared. I hope neither of you ever felt that I would not stop the world from spinning to do whatever you needed me to. I would always, always go to bat for either of you and put anything on the line that I needed to to protect you both. You are both now and forever my babies...my most favorite babies ever.
So, these are just a few things that have been on my mind lately. They are opinions held only by myself and I share them with you. I love you my Garrick (Ricky Ticky) and my Natalie (Nattie Jo).
XOXO
