Come back my loves

August 3, 2012

Boy oh boy am I missing the boys.

They have been visiting Gran and John-John on the farm. I have been working and admittedly, swanning off to Auckland for Bianca’s book launch but, it has been a cold and empty casa with out them.

I arrive home and everything is exactly where I left it.

No little boy  saying  ”Go away Mama!” and then 10 seconds later flinging his arms around me, squeezing me close and squealing  ” I love you soooooo much”.

No husband to discuss American Politics or  the pros and cons of ” time out”, or indeed the rough day at work.

Working, writing and being someone’s mum is busy and I often LONG for solitude.

Recently, everything has taken a sharper, clearer focus.

And what have I discovered?

One thing.

Love is all

Oh, and new shoes are pretty good.
