Thoughts as I begin 2012

My husband and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this August. This occasion deserves some celebration. I just don't know what to do yet.

I will have lived without my mom for 10 years this July. How I still miss her! I still call out to her when I need help and she comes to me in my dreams. I miss hearing her voice. I miss her cooking.

My daughter will be turning 16 in less than two weeks. She is taller than me and so much more open to the world. I want her to be happy and to be secure, two things that may not always go hand in hand. Sometimes, I can't believe I have a 16-year-old daughter. I love her so much!

My son will be celebrating his First Reconciliation and First Communion this year. I don't think he really gets the First Reconciliation yet. I do know he will understand First Communion. He will enjoy that he no longer has to cross his arms. He is my joy!
