Today was a sad day. Our dear Mimi went back to her real life.
For the past 7 weeks, my mom has stayed with us. Crazy? Are you serious? Wow. Poor Luke. Yes, I've heard all the above. And if I heard of your mother in law moving in for that long, I just might judge you too. But my sweet daughter has got to live these last couple weeks being doted on by her grandmother that lives 3 states away and I wouldn't trade that for the world, no matter what the whispers say about us.
Thank you. Mimi.
...For the hours you spent sitting in the car (parked in the garage!) while Chloe played with her car seat buckle
...For the millions of steps you walked to take Chloe Jane to see the owl
...For the aches from "out" you endured on those walks
....For the yards of floss you dispensed
...For the yummy food you labored over
...For the kisses on the skinned knees
...For the crackers that actually made it into Chloe's tummy, instead of yours!
...For the scratches on your nose and the itty bitty fingerprints you cleaned off your glasses
...For the revolving stack of books that you have memorized
...For being the best Mimi that Chloe could ever ask for
We miss you already.
You made me cry. Wouldn't have traded it for anything. I was greatly blessed.
