But a few times, usually on weekends, maybe because they have more free time, or I do, somehow we find ourselves caught up in conversation and I absolutely appreciate that I get to be the one with the expert mom advice. It's almost rare these days, joking, but it really makes me so proud at the amazing kind and beautiful spirits that they have become.
The oldest, with his dreams of being a pilot in the armed forces and the youngest so intuitive and somehow wise beyond his years but he knows how to hide that a little to well sometimes when he's got his headphones on and playing a video game.
They are so different and although they fight and argue like brothers do, at the end of the day, all is forgiven. I hear them sometimes, laughing until they are exhausted and fall asleep. I'm usually annoyed that they are still up, and keeping me up, but I know I will miss the sound of them together more than anything.
Time is flying so fast, we are already talking about college and driving and the military! The younger one, I worry about him. I know he likes his independence to, but without his older brother's energy driving him in some positive and constructive direction, will he do it on his own?
My boys get a little embarrassed when I write about them, but I'm so proud of them. I love them forever and always! And I can't wait to see the amazing journey they create for their own lives.
My greatest gift in this life was becoming a mom, their mom.
Aloha nui loa,
Maile
