bonus boys

i don't know how i got so lucky


To tack on two sweet bonus boys after we thought all was said and done...
Will you ever understand - how you saved me?





And the fact that you're best friends?  That only sweetens the pot...
& the younger will chase the older for a few years...

While the older will - with fierce protectiveness - save the younger from certain demise...









And for a moment - in a crazy shifting universe... i would keep you babies forever...
But i know you're not really mine to keep -
Just mine to borrow - to watch grow - to mother in these sweet years -
Like some magnificent, celestial...
Bonus.

That's kind of how I feel about Isobel... for so many years (almost 6), I had one child and didn't think there would be anymore and then, at 43, she surprised me and brings joy and laughter to my life on a daily basis. And now I wonder what would I do without my girl (who, unfortunately is so-o much like her mother, it is like looking in a mirror!). Enjoy your bonus boys ... who knows? Maybe there's another "freebee" in store for you!! :-)
