Just when I had given up hope...........

When I was talking to my teenage boys last night, ages 16 and 17, I asked if they ever missed me while I was at work. And boy, oh, boy! They gave me instant responses, ones I really hadn't expected to hear from mostly grown young men!

They do!, they really really do miss me while I'm away! Great to know, makes a moms heart just melt.

The first couple of reasons were so touching:
"mom, i  miss when you're not here because its great to come home and just talk to you, we are friends ya know mom.   besides the house seems empty and lonely when you're working" and "i miss you're cooking and when it's just me and my brother, we're bored."

Wow!  that'll carry me through many many long hours of work, now just yearning to get back to those teenagers! Yes!, teenagers are just like my mom always said...... 'raising teeangers is like nailing jello to a tree', but they can sure melt your heart too!
