Had hoped to get a photo of them this week for the weekly challenge of blessings but I think I'll run out of time so this is a favourite for last week.
Lovely boys Ruth....so glad you count your blessings because by golly the years rush by & they are away at uni & they are gone! Not forever if course but more independent so treasure every moment .
@happypat@denisefuller I am so conscious that time with them just is going so fast, so so fast, still not really adjusting to my Wednesdays when its 9 ( a whole 9!!!) hours without them. I need to improve my coping with empty nests! There were many years when I doubted very much I'd get a chance at motherhood so I do try so hard to see everything all the tough everyday bits with them as precious. I don't always. I am no saint!
Your lads are beautiful................children are funny, infuriating, adorable and scream inducing and every emotion in between.......I adore mine too and they are 30 and 28!!!!
Sweet portrait!
