in tears.

so maybe i am a little bit of a nerd. in many ways. i am currently referring to me sitting alone on my bed watching episodes of Oprah on my DVR and breaking down like every 5 minutes. let's be clear, this is some really powerful stuff. this is her final season, season 25 and they pulled out all the stops. the other crazy thing is that i can't even delete them after I have watched them. this last episode that i watched sent me into the 'ugly cry.' a mother who was dying of cancer, recorded videos for her daughter who was only 6 years old when she passed away. She left her advice about make-up, and talked to her about grieving. She made a video just to tell her that she loved her so much. yep ugly cry.

i have such an amazing husband and baby boy. i can't even imagine my life without them. seeing the strength of this women, that in her suffering she put her family first. she had nothing but gratitude for her life, for her experiences, for the people that helped her and her family. how amazing. how incredible.

it reminds me how in love i am with my two boys. even though i sometimes complain about things in my life, how i wish i had more, better or different, the truth is that out of the things that truly matter, i have it all. thank you Oprah for using your stage to bring us stories of people that will change us forever.   i love you Jeremy, Isaac and of course Miss Winfrey!

i don't 'accomplish' much in my days. but i have amazing moments with this little guy. playing peek-a-boo and giggling like no other.
