Cam and I were jumping on the trampoline today and eventually wound up on our backs, staring up at the blue sky, white clouds rolling by, sun shining on our faces. As I looked up I noticed the naked branches from the tree next to us...the promise of spring has brought tiny little green buds to those bare limbs and it got me to the thinking. Life never stays the same. It's constantly changing, constantly moving, constantly switching directions and constantly throwing us curve balls. The Fleetwood Mac song "Landslide" was going through my head, over and over again. I began to think that maybe the saying "change is the only constant in life" may be true after all. But then I looked over at that blonde haired, blue eyed angel lying next to me and as my heart filled with that insanely strong love that a mother knows all too well I realized...heck no, change is NOT the only constant...this, THIS is a constant. This love for my children is constant, it's never changing, it doesn't switch directions, it's unmovable.
Our lives have changed immensely in the past year. Nothing in mine and the girl's world has been constant, everything is different. And I imagine it's not going to stop any time soon, I don't see any promise of it slowing down or giving us a break. But our love is constant. My unconditional love for those little girls and their love for their mommy is an absolute constant. So change, come on with your big bad self. Me and my girls are ready for you.
