College Kid Says

     I still find it hard to believe that I have a child in college and since he really isn't a kid anymore but he is mine and so instead of kids say for him I will title it College Kid Says.

     Lets be real and honest.  Most teenage boys are not talkers and often times unable to convey feelings in their language so when they do say something or they send you a text out of nowhere, you better pay attention.  Well I woke up on Sunday morning and discovered the following text message:

"I love you, Mom.  I don't say it enough but I really do.  You know me I'm just not that person to come out and say it.  I love you!  You are truly my best friend.  Thank you for everything you have done for me."

Yep, I love that college child of mine.  Warms my heart and makes me cry!!!!  For all the moms out there with teenagers, they LOVE you they really do.  They just don't say it enough but they do!

Kids Say

     After school today we ran to the store to go grocery shopping to prepare for our big storm heading our way.  On the way home David IV asked a question and the answers brought tears to this mommy.

The conversation went like this:

David IV:  If you could only have one thing on your bucket list what would it be?

Mom:  (I explain the bucket list)

Julianna:  To have $1000.00

Jensen: So Julianna you want to be rich?

Julianna: NO....I want the money to....(Jensen interrupts)

Jensen: I want to play board games with my grandchildren(this is where the tears start)

Julianna:  I want the money to go on trips with my grandchildren

David:  I wish we could go to the Great Wall every weekend

That Jensen of mine gets me every time.  He is one of the sweetest boys I know with a real sense of what is important and what is not!!!  Love him for keeping us focused on the "best".
