I love you two so fiercely, it hurts. I still want to protect you from pain and sadness. I find myself getting wrapped up in your emotions. I know with time you will be less interesed in having a mommy hanging on but I just want to bring you into a safe, safe place in this crazy world and protect you still, my six and ten year olds.
Natalie you have a heart and soul that defies anything I've known. You are so loyal, to your basketball team, to your homework, to your family. I know you are on the right track and I really, really like the person you are and becomming. You work so hard. You are so smart like your daddy. So creative and sometimes your wisdom eclipses that of some adults I know (myself included) I hope your confidence catches up to your ability because you rock, girl. Be kind to yourself.
Charlotte, so sweet and fun. You are silly and loving. You love your puppy and crafts and are such a good friend to people. You are a leader, like your sisiter. My heart hurts when yours does and I know you will do that back flip over the uneven bars soon. I believe in you and will do all I can to protect your sweet heart while you're young.
We had a hard week of tears and sports. Some weeks are just like that. I love you both and have your backs, always, even when I'm figuring out what to say or do.
