Just had an awesome day celebrating my son's 22nd birthday with him and his two sisters. Since I am divorced, and he doesn't have a relationship with his Dad, I am the only Parent, and major adult influence in his life. He has always been so independent though, baking cakes alone at seven years old, making his own food at ten years old. When I was divorced, my three children had to go back and forth from my home to their Dad's, every other night, and they all grew up very fast.
Being with my three children, my own family, is always so powerful for me, now that I live alone. To be around my loved ones, the ones I gave birth to, and bond, talk, guide, and comfort one another, is the best I can get right now, without living with them. There is nothing more important to me than my three children, and nothing more important or fun than being with them! And now that they all live in separate homes, we don't always get to be together at the same time. But, just for that day, we got together in his new apartment, cooked, and had an awesome Birthday dinner for my son! My son just became the happy owner of a baby Siberian Husky, who is so gorgeous with those beautiful blue eyes. My one daughter is a dog trainer, who's boyfriend is an amazing dog trainer, who works with Cesar Milan, The Dog Whisper. She was very helpful in training him, and at only three months old he listens to commands, and will stay in his place when asked! He is already being walked for 1-2 hours a day! My son is so amazing with him, and I am so proud of him!
It is also so important for my three children to be together, as they need each other as well. It is always good to catch up on things, on life, on issues, on anything! Anything to keep that bond going, you have to communicate, and now my kids are so busy, that is harder to find!
It was so comforting to be around my three children, and hear them reminisce of the past, their childhood, but this time it was happy things! Usually when the past memories come up, they are sad, painful ones, due to the Divorce and the issues still going on with their Dad who has not been a healthy soul for many years. Comfort, that is what I feel when I am with them and leave. I feel comforted by their love, comforted by the innate connection we have with one another, comforted by the connection and communication.
Things changed so fast for me, all of a sudden they were all out of the home, and I was left alone in the dark. Now it is two years later, and yes, the pain of them gone has lessened, but I still have days where I cry missing them, wishing we were still all together. That is why I want my home on the ocean, a beach house where I can look at the ocean every single day, and my children, friends, and family, can come and stay, and laugh and enjoy the moments together! And I can stay home and create, write, draw, and paint! And so it is!
Love and Blessings to all!
