I miss the old cuddly years and look forward to grandchildren.

Both my boys sought me out after I got home from Phoenix. Poor S16 crawled into my bed in the middle of one night crying because he had a nightmare that I had died. S13 slept with me one night too.

So I know, as arm's length as they try to hold me I'm still pretty important to them. I try to meet them where they're at.

Still feel like a bad mom sometimes, though I do the best I can.
