The kids still want to be by Mom and Dad from time to time. I admit that I love it. I don’t mind when the kids get scared and want to be comforted. I like being there for my kids. Who wants their kids to have nightmares and to be frightened?
It is quality time that I get to spend with my kids. I may be missing out on some sleep here and there. I can catch up on that later. I will not be able to catch up on other moments that matter.
When my kids need me, I want to be there for them. My daughter told me that she does not want me to die. She would miss me. I don’t know what brought that on. However, I just snuggled her tighter and told her that I would miss her terribly, so I don’t want to go anywhere either. Moments like those are precious to me. I don’t want to forget them.
