Endings and Beginnings

Note: Draft Started 12/31, finished writing the post 1/14

There are a few books I’ve come across where, if I love it so much, I usually wish I don’t get to the last page. I will keep reading, but don’t want the story to end. It is that good.

As for 2013’s last page, I actually am not sure how I feel about it. Something in me, wished that Des would be walking before the year ends, but another part of me knows that it will happen in early 2014.

I am trying to get ready for a New Years party with friends which begins at 4:30. I am currently cooking, haven’t showered, and hoping that Des would keep sleeping. He’s not. I can hear him talking in his crib. Do I want this part to end? Yes. But I know in my heart, that the tough parts of being a momma is just about to begin.

I know I’ve gone through the toughest any mother could have gone through. But the next season of our lives will teach us how to discipline our son and maybe start thinking of a little brother or sister for Desmond. That is a big deal!

PAUSE (WENT TO PARTY AND IT’S NOW 2014)

As I finish writing this post. I realize. I am ready for 2014. There will be lots of milestones, big decisions and growing up that’s going to happen. Our toddler (which I keep calling a baby) will continue to make us proud and happy that we’re parents. He will also keep reminding us that miracles do happen. A reminder that we have a big God that’s bigger than our problems and worries.

I know 2014 will bring more happy tears. So bring it on!
