Make you feel my love

To Jaiden and Piper,

When the rain is blowing in your face it will eventually stop.
And the whole world is on your case because one small mistake,
I could offer you a warm embrace anytime of the day or night,
To make you feel my love which is boundless.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear, take some time to appreciate it.
And there is no one there to dry your tears you may need to do it yourselves.
I could hold you for a million years and would gladly do so for a million more.
To make you feel my love forever and ever.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet about your lives.
But I will never do you wrong on purpose.
I've known it from the moment that we met and you were mine to hold.
No doubt in my mind where you belong, right in my arms.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue.  You are my priorities.
And I'd go crawling down the avenue or anywhere you need.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you two.
To make you feel my love is my goal.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea but not in our love.
And on the highway of regret but not in our home.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free so stay true to yourselves.
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.  I'm a mama bear with her cubs.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true within reason.
Nothing that I wouldn't do to keep you safe and healthy.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you to realize your passion.
To make you feel my love for my family.
To make you feel my love of you two.

I was listening to a song the other day, and I couldn't stop thinking of you two.  I have changed it just a little.  I want you to know that I will always be there for you.

Love,

Mom

Dear Jaiden

Dear Jaiden,

Your cuddles are the best!  While your dad was at work, we went to the movies today and you wanted to sit in my lap the entire time.  It was great.  I want you to always feel comfortable in your mom's and dad's arms.  We are there for you.  Always and forever.

Now, what is this marriage you keep talking about?  You're too young.  Besides, you aren't allowed to date until you are 25.

Love you forever my prince,

Mom

Dear Jaiden,

I've been meaning to write you a letter for some time now.  Hopefully, I will continue to write these. I want to tell you what a joy it is having you in my life.

You make everyone smile when you smile.  I know that sounds sappy, but it is true.  Also true: you scare me sometimes!  Two days ago, we were playing in the driveway waiting for your dad to get home.  I turned on the silly sprinkler.  You know, the one with all of the wiggly sprayers?  You wanted to play with your Jake and the Neverland Pirates sword so you could hit the water.  After a while you were stabbing the driveway with it.  Eventually, you impaled a cherry.  And do you know what the first thing you said was?  "Look mom.  My sword has blood on it."

Ok, it's a little scary that you recognize blood but I understand.  That is how life goes.  You are going to learn that your blood is red.  And that sword can get blood on them.  It is more scary that as a mom of a 3 year old I feel I have failed as a parent to shelter you from that.  Oh well.  What is done is done.

Now for the truly scary part.  You stick the sword in your mouth after stabbing that cherry "blood".  I tell you not to do that.  I mean, you don't know what has driven over the cherries, if dogs have peed or licked them, what bugs may have crawled in there, etc.  Gross.  Your response? "But I have to get the blood off."

Wait, what?!?  You get BLOOD off of your sword by licking it?  I know you have never seen a tv show or movie that does that.  Where did this come from? Your own brain?!? AHHHHHH! Do I need to sleep with the door locked at night?  What did I do after that?  I laughed!  That is hilarious.  Creepy, but hilarious.  

Please don't be a serial killer.  

If you are, I guess we know where the turning point was.  My bad. :)  I'm not sure where you get your macabre sense of humor, but I love it.  Now stop sticking your sister with the Bowzer shell and get ready for "school" (AKA. daycare).  

I love you forever my peanut.

Mom
