I love and adore all my kids and my grandchildren; but I am not the center of their world as I am with Darby and Sawyer. Our children are always making new friends, getting involved with outside activities, and bringing other people into their lives to love, and that is a wonderful thing and as it should be. Our furbabies however will always love us best, never compare us to their friends parents, never get too deeply involved in anything , not to be thrilled to see us. My boys have never looked at me like I was from another planet, yelled at how unfair I am, or resent that they still need me sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I have good relationships with my kids, and I adore my granchildren. Still, it feels so wonderful to always be number one in my boys eyes. They think I am the most important person in the world, and when I am with them I think so too. The love in a furbabys eyes when it looks at you is totally priceless. I think that is why the love between us and our furfaces is so strong, it is totally unconditional, and always obvious. Sherry:)
