1.24K?? IM DIZZY! - BLESSINGS BE

I turned my mom's doorknob, shocked when it turned easily in my hand, I walked in to see my mom sitting in her chair, coffee in hand and not in the least bit surprised to see me .
She rose from her seat came over to me and wrapped her arms around me whispered that she was so happy to see me and was glad that God had answered her prayers and told me she loved me.
I sobbed out all my hurt and everything that I had stored up over this time apart, and she just held me telling me it didn't matter where I had been, all that mattered is that I was home and safe.

She dried my tears and asked how I was, and I opened my coat and showed her that I was pregnant.

She looked at me with eyes so like mine and gasped, lightly touching my belly.
I asked her why was the door unlocked, that it wasn't safe to leave it that way.
She looked at me, eyes brimming with tears and said, "Since the day I stopped communicating with you, that door has never been locked.
I prayed every night one morning or any point in the day really that door would open, and you would be here. I've missed you, daughter.

We sobbed some more, and I told her about the beanie babies how I was now living with Sam.
She asked where was he and I told her he was out in the car, she insisted I have him come in, so I stepped out onto the porch
As soon as he saw me, he exited the vehicle and came to my side asking if it was all good because it was obvious I had been crying.
"Happy tears, babe" I said, linked our hands and brought him inside, where my mom engulfed him in a heartfelt embrace saying she was happy that I was happy now, protected and safe.

That was all that mattered to her.

She then went about making my favorite breakfast, sausage and cheese eggs which I ate ravenously and that actually stayed down.

We visited awhile longer, I got to see my siblings, Danny and Jessie, saw their joy when we told them about the twins.

It was a good, much needed reunion.

We said our goodbyes, after I returned from my old bedroom where I'd packed up some momentos, some clothing I forgot i wanted, some toiletries that I needed in an old duffle bag I'd stolen from Sam years ago.

We told them they were always welcome in our home, hugged again, cried some more and then drove back to the crib.

I was really wrung out, it had been an emotional day, so I laid down in our bed intending to just rest a minute, before preparing dinner, and the next thing I knew, it was 10am the next day!
I bounded out of bed knowing I was already late for work and called out for Sam, searching for him.

Where did he get off to, the house was silent and I was there alone.

I went to the fridge intending to get some apple juice, when I saw a note stuck under the magnet, telling me NOT to make dinner, he'd bring me something on the way home
He had gone to work and got me the next three days off to recover, DOC'S ORDERS!

I giggled in spite of myself. My man can be quite the comedian!
There aren't enough words in the English language to say just how much he meant, has always meant to me.

I lazed about watching TV in my pajamas, ate homemade soup that I concocted that had chicken, broccoli, escarole, green onion, white onions, spices and herbs in it.
I call it green goddess
After i cleaned up and dozed on the couch, he was home waking me up in the most pleasant way possible.
