Sometimes You Miss Out

---

Those youngest daughters of mine…

Are flying out to DC…spend the next week…with that beautiful sister of theirs…

Opened gifts before they left…chatted a little…laughed a little…easy breezy lemon squeezy…and just like that…

Christmas is over…

For that mother of theirs…ok…not really over…the day will still come…the birth of Jesus still celebrated…but the magic of Christmas…pretty much done…

Cuz for years and years and years…that magic…has always been…about those girls…baking cookies…decorating the tree…Sunday School programs…Santa and his sleigh…

Am so thankful…they’ll be together…hustling and bustling…surrounded by surrogate family…but not gonna lie…even old gals…can suffer from…FOMO…

And so it is…in life…sometimes…you miss out…it is…what it is…but deep in this mama’s heart…as much as she would like to be with her ladies…she truly knows…

Those sweet beautiful things…are missing her just as much…or maybe…just maybe…a little…bit more…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
