Mormor is one of the most important persons in out lives, specially my boys. They adore her. No wonder... she loves them so much. She hugs them, kisses them, calls them cute names, plays with them, reads to them, sings to them, snuggles with them, smiles with them, teaches them new things, takes them to trips, has them over for sleepovers, takes them to the play ground, cooks their favorite food, bakes them cakes and cookies, comforts them when they cry, gives them marshmallows, chocolate, jelly beans, ice cream, buys them most of their favorite toys... among many other amazing things, and of course there is the occasional "time out" so they know she is the one that rules.
When Karl spends the weekend with her and comes home he tells me constantly to do things "like mormor". Say, if I am driving, I have to turn my signal like mormors, if I am reading him a book, it has to be the way she does it. It is like she is his superhero. He also comes home saying new things: "upsy daisy" is one of my favorites. And I love it! He loves spending time with her and waits by the window every time she is coming to pick him up. Grabs his backpack and is always so anxious to leave with her that he says bye bye a thousand times. And when she leaves without him, there are always big tears. Kaden is all about smiles when he sees her. And hugs and kisses, and tells her the cutest "I loooove you sooo muuutch" there is.
For me she means so much. She is an example to follow. And a hard one. She raised the most kind, generous, smart, successful, loving children. And I hope my kids turn out like hers. She is here for me when I need her. If I feel sick or tired she always helps me with the kids. If I need her opinion about something she always talks to me with the truth.
I will never forget the time she kept my new born baby Kaden for almost 2 weeks when I had to go to my father's funeral. Sleepless nights as we know, feeding him when he rejected the bottle. There was no one who could have taken care of him like she did. And I went to Mexico with no worries.
She is one of a kind. I am so grateful to have her in my life. I trust her so much.
Now this wonderful woman is facing one of the most important challenges in her life. She is fighting cancer. I am sure she is going to win this fight. She has shown us many times her determination and her strength.
Just remember... she is my little boy hero, so she is just going to show him how strong she is.
