It sometimes scares me how much I love my children.  It is completely overwhelming to the point of actual physical pain at times that I have no control over...especially if one of them gets hurt.  I know I'm not saying anything new here ...I know that mothers and fathers alike feel the same way.  I just feel absolutely blessed that God chose me to parent these two amazing kids.
