My Baby Boy
Dear Husband, we said goodbye and are now 750 miles apart. Dear Kaden, your baptism was wonderful even if you did make me talk in front of everyone. I am so glad you felt the spirit and are happy to be a member of the true church. Thanks for everyones help and thanks to all those who came. Kade felt very loved. Dear Camera, It has been an emotional time and when I am under stress I drop things, including you, at an important event, Kade's baptism. All the pictures are blurred and now you refuse to even turn on. We had a good life together. I don't even know what to do without a camera. And if anyone has any pictures of Kade's baptism I would appreciate it if you emailed them to me. Dear Phone, apparently all electronics are unhappy with me and you died on me too. It's been a week without a phone so anyone trying to call or text me I am not ignoring you, it was lost in cyber space. Dear Mom, I hope you had a good birthday. I hope you know how much you are loved. Thanks for letting me have all of my stuff everywhere while I try to unpack. I love you. Dear Mom & Dad, Just because I moved in doesn't mean you had to leave the country. I will miss you while you are gone and worry about you too. I hope you have fun with your boys and their wonderful families. Dear Layton, Happy Birthday on the 9th. I can't believe my little Layton is 17. I must say I could not be more proud of the man that you are growing into. I love you nephew. And thanks for all your help this last week. Dear School, I am not ready to send my children back to you. I love having them home where I know they are safe and happy. And technically they should have one more month of summer. Dear Reno, I miss your lovely weather and beauty. And of course your lake. Dear Arizona, you are so HOT. It's like a blow dryer in my face all the time. Luckily the house is nice and cold. Dear Self, I feel broken, chewed up and thrown away, so overwhelmed and unable. But yet deep down there is a flicker of peace, even though I feel alone, I know the Lord has not left me and has blessed me to have people who love me. Remember that you are not alone.
