Sometimes

Sometimes you have to call an old friend even if you're still mad at her.
Sometimes you have to do the same with your mother.
Sometimes you are going to be the only person on earth who really understands your daughter.
Sometimes it is the same with your son.
Sometimes you have to cry, and rant, and then scream, with the shower running so as not to scare your son.
Sometimes you have to laugh, and laugh, and then cry from laughter with that son.
Sometimes you will think that life isn't fair.
Sometimes you will realize that you were really lucky.
Sometimes tomorrow seems insurmountable, while today seems like it didn't get here yet.
Sometimes you will hate the mere act of throwing back a blanket on the couch and declaring nap over, and
Sometimes you won't know what to do once that blanket's gone.
Sometimes you will.
Sometimes.

And Sometimes you'll wonder whose children these REALLY are! (Sigh!)

Love you Laura and this is so true sweetie. I think of you so often as you work your way into new and unfamiliar territory. My heart still hurts for you and I think it always will. I will continue loving you through.

Love and Hugs, Laurie
