The Twinge

Today has been, um, well just plain crazy!  Evan and I took a road trip to see a "welcome baby" shower.  My wonderful friend Sarah had her second child, and she is plain gorgeous!!!
See for yourself!

As we were making our journey to visit her and I was on a long stretch of the highway, I waited intentionally for my phone to ring.  (Dang our modern technologies)  I thought my mom will call shortly and ask, "are you there yet?"  "What's Evan doing?" 
(Side note:  My mom was the master of asking questions, repeatedly!!!!!!)
So I realized then, like every time, she would not be calling to annoy me!  Darn her!
While thinking of how our set conversation would go I passed the exit to her job site.  That set off the waterworks.  Something that is unsafe when your driving, like texting. So I text my husband, I know shame shame!  He text-talked me through it and again I was off. 

I finally arrived at my destination and had  fantastic time.  I was talking with my wonderful friend Sarahs' mother.  She paid her condolences and said I don't know how you do it.  Que waterworks!!!  She then went on about her way until my son went and crawled in her lap.  My heart swelled and sank all at the same time.  It made me realize that my son, like myself is suffering in short bursts.  He misses his Nana just like I miss my mom.  I wish I could take his hurt away, but his hurt will help him heal, just like it will me!

So every time I have that twinge that she's not here anymore I will stop and realize that Evan, Gugu, and all my family is having the same problem and it is completely normal!
