I am really missing my mom. I started crying while I was on the phone with her tonight. She has been gone for almost two weeks. And please, PLEASE, don't get me wrong...I am so, so, SO glad that she can be there with Erin during this exciting and life-changing time. I am so happy that she's out of school and has been able to help Erin with the new baby and taking care of big brother. But I miss her.
And tonight on the phone, I just lost it. I realized how blessed I am to have my Mom in the same town as me and am able to see her just about every day. She's my best friend. And it really made me feel sorry for Erin. I know that she gets so homesick for Mom and I am feeling what she has felt for a long time since she's moved. I am so sad that she isn't here. This feeling in me is terrible. I hate it. And I know Erin probably hates it, too. Life with two little ones is hard. HARD. And trying. VERY TRYING. And Mom is always there to help me carry this load of being a mommy. I just wish so bad that Erin was here so Mom could help her more often.
And Emily has moved away now and I know she is missing Mom, too. A lot! But Em is still fairly close to Pop and Gigi and gets to see them.
Girls, know that my heart is so heavy for you two. I love you so much and wish we could all just be together all the time and have as much fun as we always do when we are together.

You ARE so very blessed to have your mom in the same town. I missed my mom so much while she was in Alaska on vaca and she lives 5 1/2 hours away. My mom is my best friend, too, so I totally relate. The girls and I are going there for a week this month and I can't wait!
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. What would we do without our mommies? I'm thinking of you.
I know how you feel, Ash. I miss Mom and all of you LOTS! But it is definitely nice to be just a phone call away. Also to have Pop and Gigi not far.
Yes, having your momma in the same town is truly a blessing! I'd love it if mine was in the same state. Alas, that is not where the Lord has called us to be at this point in our lives. I just take time to give thanks for the wonderful mother he blessed me with and the amazing technology that exists these days for us to stay close.
You'll make it through, though it's ok to miss her. You have a God who loves you, and from what it sounds you also have an amazing hubby and two great kiddos. :)
What would we do without our moms??? I totally agree with you--I talk to and see my mom EVERY day so I'd be lost without her. We are truly blessed by the closeness of our families. :)
