*hugs to the pretty Petal* I would share roast beef and sugar cookies with you, too. I admit that I feel like I have taken my first breath after a long time... my babies are home. I admit that I stood outside of customs for an hour, waiting, chatting with other people who were looking for loved ones. I admit that the one lady standing next to me spotted the Things before me and said, "Maybe this is them?" I admit that I saw them as they saw me, and I ran over to them and hugged and kissed them as if they had just returned from war. I admit that I cried and cried while I held them. I admit that they couldn't get enough of me either, though Thing 1 tried really hard to be the cool teenager that he is. I admit that as we walked back through the throng of waiting people, the ladies I was standing near were crying, too. I admit that I loved listening to them chatter all the way home. I admit that I loved watching Thing 2 eat her roast beef and veggies, as if it were manna. I admit that I loved when she mushed my tummy and said, "Squishy! Let me smell your perfume, Mommy! Yep, it smells like you. I missed you... I just needed you... I cried for you at night." I admit that I held her and kissed her like she was air I needed to stay alive. I admit that I did the same to Thing 1, and just smelled him, his hair, and kissed his wonderfully soft cheeks, just because he is my precious son. I admit that Thing 2 is sleeping soundly on the couch, Thing 1 is outside talking with friends, and all is right in my world. If I were a cat, I'd be purring.
