memories... Last night i found out just how cramped my mom got when i would get scared of a thunderstorm and sneek into her room, and squeeze into bed beside her.. last night the storm blew in.. i woke up because even though im an "adult" i still do not like thunderstorms at night.. my mind starts thinking about tornados, and where would i go with my babies to get away from the tornado... anyway.... i was sitting there praying and i heard a little noise then i heard a small "daddy?" bobby woke up, i sat up, and we saw that evan was in our room... we asked him what was wrong and he said that the thunder scared him... i immediately thought of my mom and how she reacted every time i went into their room scared of a thunderstorm and said come here... and made room for evan on my side of the bed...
well i usually sleep in the middle of the bed crowding poor bobby out , so i had "plenty" of room for evan.. well... so i thought... but unlike me when i was little once i was in bed with my mom i could fall back to sleep regardless of what was going on outside... evan is a different story... he laid there touching my face very gently... then he started to sniffle VERY LOUDLY... well by that time the storm had already blown over... so i asked him if he wanted some milk and then he could go back to his bed.. so i got him some milk then took him back to HIS bed... i was still wide awake for some reason so i started to read my book again.. and just as i was about to fall asleep.. i hear again... "daddy?" bobby was like "what?!?" i grabbed evan and brought him to my side of the bed he said that the thunder was still scaring him, which i think was actually the traffic on the highway he was hearing, which was very loud last night and did sound like thunder so i made room for him again...
well he woke me up a few times during the night touching my face... or kicking my legs.. and i could only sleep on one side so my neck is very stiff and for some strange reason my back is very sore...
all i can say is "Mom, thank you for always making room for me when i got scared! you go above and beyond!"
anyway... just thought that was a funny, cute story to share... hope everyone has a very Merry CHRISTmas!!!!!
