well the sun is slowly sinking down
but the moon is slowly rising.
this old world must still be spinnin' round
and i still love you.

lullaby



i really don't know what i'd do without my mom. she is an absolute lifesaver.

i hate it that i live so far from her. especially now that i'm pregnant.

i talk to my mom every single day, sometimes for five minutes, sometimes for an hour. it's not that my mom is the only person in the world who can calm me down (although there aren't many). it's just the way that she does it.

it's funny, my mom and i have such different personalities, but if she weren't my mom, i still think we'd be friends.

and she loves my husband. after all, he's the one she had prayed for my whole life. she loves our baby. she told me she doesn't care that she'll be a grandma before she's 50 - she is so excited for this new blessing from God.

i remember when ariel and i had to be long distance; it was so hard. huge phone bills, huge milleage on the cars, huge heartaches. some days were great, optimism took over. but then there were the long days, the days where i would cry and the thought of him being 500 miles away.

and now, i'm right in the middle of my long distance relationship with my mom. and today, as i'm counting the miles apart, i miss her more than anything in the whole world. *tears*

i hope my baby misses me like this someday . . .
