I want them to grow up and ask about me. I want to have a relationship with them. I know I'll never be the real mom but I'd still like to be something important to them. To be there to answer their questions.MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697672279877434305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980531981336832789.post-24953299307026492262011-01-10T19:43:49.954-07:002011-01-10T19:43:49.954-07:00Makes so much sense, the odd compression of time a...Makes so much sense, the odd compression of time as she grows. I'm glad the anniversaries are getting easier & I have no doubt the world's brighter for Roo being in it.

The 25th of each month always loomed for the first year, then as time passed I would realize the 25th of any given month was nearly over before I even realized it. Now, 3 years later, the 25th of each month pass like any other date. The only one that matters deeply to me is his actual birthday/ anniversary to which i'll never forget.<br /><br />I'm glad that life is a brighter place now for you. Time allows for grief work which leads to healing. Happy 18 months Roo!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740847681453723883noreply@blogger.com
