A glimpse of normality
The day ended on a good note. Most of the day was pretty icky for reasons I will get into another time, but it ended on a good note.
The amazingly gifted hubby person grilled us a fantastic, meatastic dinner topped off with the most delicious sweet corn I have had in a very long time. A good friend was able to come share our delicious feast, which made it all the better.
Jeremiah went to bed early, by his own choosing amazingly, so Gabe and I tackled the dishes together. About half way in I realized something quite amazing. We were having a real conversation! There were no excuses, no high pitched voices, no exagerated stories. Real laughter, real jokes, and real mutual teasing! As a mom, it was a moment I really felt like I was connecting to my son. At that very moment, he was just part of the family.
So at the end of a very hard day, we are watching a silly movie as a family (minus the little guy) and eating deliciously evil brownies. Just being a family.
Blessings!
