Motherhood

We are the world...I have been reflecting on the birth of my own children since Dyllan came into the world and remembering new connections, even reconnecting to old friends and cherishing the bonds that were formed when such emotional connections were made. They say that is how we learn things in life; to connect them to something that triggers an emotional connection.
My college roommate from way back (I will not say old) emailed me the other day to ask what she could help out with and what Dyllan needs. I have been thinking that Dyllan needs NOTHING, she has it all, but now I have come to realize that she needs what everyone needs, and that is LOVE. She thrives on it. We all do. I realized that my friend's son's name is Dylan and that we now have something new in common-(and I also realized that my Aunt Grace shares this new baby's namesake-so I called her right away because I hadn't even talked with her lately.) My friend's son is a computer wizard and an only child and I need help with my pictures from the last 3 weeks that are piling up in my computer and needing to be organized and it occurred to me that this was the gift that my friend could give-a talent that needs direction in a growing child of her own. Time to spend loving and nurturing a relationship of love that needs rekindling (push each other to be the best we can) with her son. It need not cost a penny, but it would pass on the love.
Touch someone else today. You may not realize what it means just to have someone who cares. Happy Valentine's Day. Dyllan is scheduled to come home today!
