Gets me every time. I love this song. Close to my ♥.
I am SO blessed, but it is strange--BAFFLING to me how close to the surface the feelings of longing for my children are. They are HERE, (no more lonely apron strings) they are 4 years old. They test my patience beyond what I thought possible, Yet I can bawl at the very remembrance of not having them. No idea if I make sense. I think those emotions were so ingrained in me. Not easily forgotten. But I am grateful for it. The pain is part of who I am, yet it has made me stronger.
Apron strings
Hanging empty crazy things
My body tells me I want someone to tie to my Apron strings
Apron strings Waiting for you pretty things
That I could call you
I want someone to tie to my Lonely apron strings.
Your baby looks just like you when you were young
And he looks at me with eyes that shine
And I wish that he were mine
Then I go home
To my Apron strings Cold and lonely,
For time brings thoughts that only Will be quiet when someone clings
to my apron strings.
And I'll be perfect in my own way
When you cry I will be there I'll sing to you and comb your hair
All your troubles I will share
For apron strings Can be used for other things Than what they're meant for
and you'd be happy wrapped in my Apron strings
You'd be happy wrapped in my Apron strings

It just makes you a much better mother. You know what you have and I am sure it lends to your patience with them. It's good that you remember, that means you won't forget what you have to loose. Merry Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!
Thanks for the share! :) Never heard of that song before, it's cute.
Wow Cackie...Thanks for sharing this song. I just bawled my eyes out! I love you!
I have never heard that sound either. I am happy you don't have that pain anymore. We hope your Christmas is wonderful. Kids do make Christmas worth celebrating.
I type too fast. I have never heard that SONG either.
I always pictured myself with three or four kids. the not being in contorl over my own destiny is what still drives me crazy to this day. I am truly blessed and thankful for the two children i have been blessed with. but it still drives me crazy that some people set out to have a baby and 9 months later, they have one. There is nothing wrong with that, they are doing nothing wrong...it is just still frustrating me that I have no control over it. For as many couples there are in this world, that's how many different stories and situations there are. everyone has thier own trials. this just happens to be one of mine. :) (ours)
That was a very touching post and probably hard for you to share. I think personally it helps to get it out. Just like w/ my headaches- not knowing if I will ever feel normal and not in pain....bla bla, not control over it is hard. But what do you do, keep on trucking along. Your so great!
