Mimis and Papas are from heaven

My mom left on Saturday for her annual girls trip to Florida and when I went to say good-bye to her I could feel the lump forming in my throat. I thought to myself..."Get yourself together lady!She will only be gone a week!"..but a week is a long time. 7 days. 168 hours. 604,800 seconds.

I think this week is good for both me and my mom. Obviously, she gets the relaxation and time with her girlfriends she longingly deserves and I get the time to realize how blessed I am to have her and my dad in my life. My dad happily picks up the roles my mom plays while she is home and at the drop of a hat he cleared his day on a Saturday to spend it with Liam . My mom and dad would give their right arm to help their children and grandson. I can only hope I can be half the person they are. They love with their whole heart. Always see the positive and truly are the best people they can be. Even when times aren't the greatest they always put on their smile and go out to face the world. I am so blessed to have them in our lives. I may not always show it but its times like these that I am reminded how good I have it.
