I enjoy when my children call me just to share their day or week with me. Though we are as far apart as nearly 1,500 miles, those phone calls and texts just seem to make the miles disappear. It's like we're just a few blocks away, like it was before we moved from Colorado to Florida.
Then, there are those times that make the miles seem endless. Holidays apart from our children are the most difficult for me, especially Thanksgiving and Mother's Day. I truly do enjoy seeing all the social media pictures of the moms with all their children, and even their grandchildren, too! But my heart is missing the parts of my children and grandchildren during those celebrations.
I saw a video that said that when a woman is pregnant, the cells of her baby cross the placenta and go into the mother. They never go away, and they always remain a part of her. WOW! That's an amazing thing God has done in us, Mommas! You see, we long for our children and feel like something is missing when they are apart from us because something IS missing! It's in these moments, when are children aren't near us that we can take comfort in the fact that they will always be part of us!
