He is a very special and unique person in my life. I account much of my willingness to live, slay dragons and fight much of my own personal demons to him. He is the reason I continued to live in spite of so much death that surrounded me after 9/11.

When I met him last night for dinner he immediately knew something was wrong and asked, “Ohhhh, why the long face.” His warm embrace, beautiful smile, the crinkle of his nose when he laughed, and his silly jokes all worked their intended magic on me. I never really got to tell him what a bad day I had, he was too busy telling me about his exciting day, which mesmerized me completely for awhile.

This morning when we parted, he turned around and ran back to hug me one more time. As he pulled me down to his level, embracing me real hard, he whispered softly in my ear, “I love you lots mommy, and your kisses are still magic medicine on my booboos,” and with that he began to give me lots of kisses all over my face making us both break out into a fit of giggles.

I think he now realizes that his hugs and kisses are magic medicine for my soul too.

2 As I've learned over the past few years - it truly is magic. My kids can have the same effect on me, too.

4 As crazy as they make me, sometimes my boys are the only reason to get up in the morning. I could not be without them.

5 Sometimes when I'm having a rough day or bad times, just thinking about Clone and Boopie is enough to make me smile and keep going. Children just cast a spell of happiness on anyone around them.

6 I was just saying to a friend that my son does this for me, when he sits in my lap and watches tv and reaches up to touch my face and whisper "I love you mommy", no other reason than him to get out of bed!
