needed.
Y'all love your mama.
And, I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it.
Your Uncle Colby was the same way with your MiMi. He was attached to her hip. Like constantly. In fact, she directed an entire VBS one summer with him on her hip. Papa (my dad's dad) always told my mom that it was better for her to love us too much than not enough.
My mama, your MiMi, has reminded me of that often. As I am holding both of you - one on each hip - while there are tons of other people around to help me but you only want to be with me. She mentions quietly, as others comment about the two of you being mama's boys, that it's okay. She'll lean over and say, "you know what PaPa says...".
And she's right. He's right.
I will enjoy this time. Because it won't last forever. I will be okay when sometimes supper doesn't get cooked or the bathrooms don't get cleaned because you need me. I'm so thankful to be needed. One day you won't be as attached to me (although I secretly hope you're always mama's boys). So, I will cherish every second of it.
Precious words.
