I know a lot of people think Valentine's Day is too commercialized and cheesy. I don't really care what other people think.
I am really struggling this year.....
It's Anthony's first year in the High School, and he turns 15 this summer. 15.
Molly will officially be a teen this summer.
It's Timothy's last year in the Primary School.....then I will have zero children in Primary School....my brain can't compute that. And he turns 10....double digits.
There is only so much, so many changes, so many milestones, one Mama's heart can take. And all those things feel so big to me. So I'm trying not to freak out. And trying not to freak out looks like preserving traditions and fun for our family. And that means continuing on with all the silly little things that make my kids happy, and in turn make me happy.
....Like still making Valentine's with Timothy for his entire class. This is probably the last year he'll want to do this. So I watched him work at putting little stickers on little bags of chips and held back tears.
I might not be able to keep them little, but growing up doesn't mean you have to stop having fun and taking delight in all the cheesy little things.....like Valentine's Day.
With Love, Mama Hauck
