Love and Laughter…

One of the qualities about my children I enjoy the most is their unpredictability.

Most of the time it’s a good thing.

My children keep me alert, they keep me wondering and they are a constant source of humour.

Sometimes it’s their choice of attire…

Sometimes it’s where and how they fall asleep…

Sometimes it’s their achievements…

and sometimes it’s just a simple moment…

that makes me smile.

My heart fills with laughter and my days unfold before me with new adventures.

When the evening finally arrives and I’m drained of all energy…

from all the responsibilities of life,

a small, unexpected gesture in the form of a snuggle and the spoken words from a tiny voice

– “I love you, Mummy” –

blinds me from all the stresses that have surrounded me throughout the day.
