i'm not sure they'll ever truly know...

how much i love them.
every little bit.
sitting at the table eating dinner with them.
seeing their eyes sparkle as they tell me everysingledetail about their days :-)
hearing their laughter.
them talking over each other.
how they all eat at different speeds and have different methods of eating a meal.
watching them interact with each other.
making sure each of them is heard...and seeing the quiet one light up when they get a chance to speak.

so many nights i'm beyond exhausted by this point and just make it through.
but the nights that i still have some energy left, and i take it all in, oh how it fills me up.

i'm so very blessed. so very, very blessed.
