Hi boys-
I haven’t forgotten about writing this to you, it’s just been a very busy holiday season. Today I knew I could not wait longer. The way I feel about writing, is that a title for a moment comes to my mind, then my mind starts to wander from there to elaborate all the feelings of what I am thinking. I guess that’s what has made me write this much to you and keep a journal most of the time since I was old enough write.
Today’s moment was on the 405 freeway, on the way home from the Long Beach Aquarium. You were both asleep in the back of the van. We spent 4 hours going from aquarium to aquarium. Most of the time, it was heavenly. You ran up to the glass and you ( Jack) would notice something intricate about each different kind of fish. You (Charlie), would say “wow! Fish! Diver!” We ate a cooperative lunch in a big booth overlooking the sea lion exhibit on a blue sky day.
There’s a sense of accomplishment that a parent feels driving home after a fun day—when you were asleep in the back seat and I could even hear Charlie snoring, I did not think about how Charlie refused to get in the stroller to leave and threw himself on the ground and screamed underneath a sea urchin exhibit. Or how I drove around downtown Long Beach trying to find an ATM for 30 minutes so we could park at the Aquarium. At the end of the day—all I knew was—being your mom and taking you on adventure- is the greatest gift. I have been off all this week from work. Tomorrow I am taking you to the San Diego Zoo as I try to cram in all I can with the time I have.
I want to be your mom full time, but as long as God prefers for me to serve at Casa de Amma—I will savor every bite of my slices of ‘dream come true’ pie.
