“Whats up, Waldo?”
"I feel guilty sometimes.” I replied, hiding my face in his collarbone.
“How come?” He asked gently with a lilt in his voice.
“I just...wonder what if I took the job and finished my training to become an astronaut? What if I went on that launch 7 years ago?” I pause as I look out towards my kids. “But then I look at them out there, at their smiling faces, and realize we wouldn’t be where we are...I just can’t help but feel I gave up on a dream.”
Daxton pulled me closer, hugging me tight. “You’re an amazing mom and have given up so much in order to be that. You’re allowed to feel guilty and feel like you lost out on an opportunity, but look at the on you’ve gained.”
We looked out at the kids a little longer. Listening to Scarlets little giggles while her brother pulls her on the wagon.
