Love, Me

We had cold war today over the way we discipline our children. I was upset when you want to put him outside the house just because he was crying. And you were upset with me for chiding you the way you discipline. Not the first time. We didn't talk for the rest of the day. We were fine just before we came home. Then I hear this song.
Reminded me why I chose to marry you.
Can we stop being upset with each other?

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

Here I am again after 5 years....

Hi there...

I'm back after 5 years of hiatus. Happened to think about my blog today and remembered I have a blog sometime back. It has been so long since my last post.

Many things have happened and changed.

I've moved on 3 jobs since my last post.

Given birth to my third child... Nate is now coming 3!

Nat is now 11 and Matt is turning 10 this year.

I'm now coming to my 13th year of marriage.

WOW.

Hoping to start blogging more often again. It's great to have an outlet to pen down your thoughts at times because it can be difficult to voice your thoughts or maybe people are just not interested to listen to what you want to say.
