A Heart Divided

The other day, Seth and I were driving the kids to dinner and Josiah asked us if we were sad when his feelings were hurt.  I proceeded to tell him that the day that daddy and I found out that we were going to have him, we each gave him a part of our hearts. I said that he actually walks around with three hearts in one so we feel everything that he feels.  When he is excited about going to playground, our hearts feel that too.  When he is sad because somebody said something mean to him, our hearts feel that too.  When he was scared about his first day of preschool, our hearts were scared too. It is amazing to me how we change when we become parents.  You learn to live your life for someone other than yourself...all the time.  And you know something, I wouldn't change that for the world. 
 I love writing.  I love expressing my feelings this way.  However, the business of life seems to get in the way of me doing it.  I want to change that...so I am back.
