Title It

First entry - the title. It comes from a quote I hold near and dear to my heart. There is this picture I have hanging above the desk where I sit. You'll know what I'm talking about if you happen to be my son, or anyone else that has seen this room. And you'll know the picture I'm describing. My very favorite picture in the whole wide whirl. It was a beautiful summers day. I had taken my two little boys out into the woods on the side of our log home. They sat down at the base of this beautiful mature birch tree. It was just one of those moments that captured on camera . . . . . how do I explain it? For me it was a once in a lifetime photo. Some blades of grass passed between two brothers, not one care in the world. That my friends, was life at it's most simplistic and for me, time could have stood still right then and there. The quote goes like this:

"Making the decision to have a child . . . . it's to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." Elizabeth Stone (That's not word for word but close enough)

These two boys? They are my heart.

In no way shape or form do I pretend to pull off supermom. I'm sure that have made a TON and a half of mistakes along the way, having raised my boys for most of the growing years by myself, and doing so while working shiftwork. But there was never ever a question of my love for them. I hope they know I'm pretty sure they know that.
