Having 2 kids whine, "Mommy!" was really starting to get on my nerves. I even told someone mom was the most over used word EVER. Seriously, you try to listen to, "Mom, I'm hungry. Mom, I want to go to the park. Mom, unzip my princess dress. Mom, I want something but I can't communicate in English so I'm just gonna sit here and yell mom all day." ALL DAY LONG! It definitely tries one's patience.Then Jaime died. We anticipated for Johnathan to cry for his mom all week. What would we say to him? How could we help fill this immeasurable void? I watched a two year old point to his mother's coffin and ask, "Mommy?"
How could I have let that word annoy me?
I love you, Mom.

I think I would cry my eyes out if I had seen that first hand. How crazy it is that in one moment, something so horrible can bring such clarity. (But I do still understand and feel your pain about the part where they can't communicate in English :)
Wow. Crying. Can't stop. I'm so sorry.
Oh no, what happened. A friend? That's so incredibly sad. I can't even think about it or I will start crying.
Thanks Megan you just made me cry at work. That's the last time I read your blog at work. :)
I wasn't sure where the post was going, thought it would be a venting session...which I was SO ready to join you on!
Then Jaime's name on the page. Tears immediately running down my face, still are. I'm with you, how on Earth can I get tired or annoyed hearing my precious kid call my name?
Thank you for this gentle reminder today, I really did need it. :)

Thanks I needed that reminder today. That honestly made me cry---beautifully writen.
WOW! That post will get me through...always, but especially this potty training bidness.
Wow. Powerful. I go from laughing out loud while reading one paragraph to bawling my eyes out in the next one.
Thanks for the reminder.
