MY people

Who are your current most favorite people?

Assuming this is referring to the important/favorite people currently IN my life and not some reality tv star or famous person.

The most favorite people in my life, currently, would be my children and the love of my life.

We have a combined family. So I have blood children and non-blood children. Don’t get mistaken there, though. I would die or kill for any of them, bar none.

They are a handful at times, especially when we have all of them together but I wouldn’t change it for the world. These kids all have the most unique personalities I have ever witnessed and I adore them all. Each have their quirks and their simplicities.

I find myself enjoying multiple activities when they’re with us because each wants their own type of quality time. So I will go from playing dolls, to playing cars, to gaming or throwing a football. I guess that’s turning me more into a Jack of all trades, now that I think about it.

The ages range drastically from toddler to teenager and to say that it is an adjustment is the understatement of the century, but seeing them all get along and have fun warms my heart to no end. There are no better days than when we are all sitting on the couch watching a movie and sharing some snacks.

I can only hope that they understand how important they are to me and that somehow, someday they see how proud we are of them. They are all amazing children and deserve the world.

The final person I will talk about is my significant other, the love of my life. She knocked on the door, with all of her little baggage, and when it was opened moved right on in. No questions asked.

This love was not sought after, nor was it chased. It happened quietly like a flower blooming in the garden. Slowly, day after day, until neither of us could let go of its beauty.

It was hot and burned like the usual “honeymoon stage” but went so much deeper. This woman, who had no part in the trauma life had caused me, came in and healed the deepest parts of me. Some parts I hadn’t even known were broken.

Her eyes are the deepest, most sincere windows into her soul that I’ve ever seen on a person. It’s almost as if I can read her thoughts when she’s staring at me. I catch myself getting lost in them daily. Willingly.

Her smile and laughter can change my mood in a heartbeat. Never will I be anything other than elated when I see those beautiful teeth or hear that wondrous laughter.

I can only hope that these humans can understand their importance to me. I wake up daily in hopes to make them proud. I push myself in all aspects of life to be a good example and to give them someone they can look up too.

In all my life I have not been as happy as I am today with these darling people in my life.
