I’m Good
Posted by Kim on Friday Apr 14, 2017 Under Tru SoundtrackI’m good. And that’s perfect.
When did good become not enough?
The world is so busy being busy.
Trying to do more. Be more. Have more.
Well, I think good, is pretty darn amazing.
I could not ask for more.
I have kinda always been good, really.
I feel like it has all intentionally fallen into place. Slowly connecting. Evolving over time. Until it was just right.
Your daddy was my best friend turned husband.
I wanted my Bachelor’s and my Master’s degrees and I got them.
I wanted my National Board Certification, so I got it.
And I really wanted to win the Donald H. Graves Award for Excellence in Teaching Writing and I did.
Then one day I decided I wanted to be your mom. I remember telling your daddy and…here we are.
I say “your” mom because from day one I prayed for you, a boy. I saw you in my mind or in my heart, I don’t know which.
But I knew you. You were very clear to me.
Our souls knew each other. I just needed you in flesh and blood.
And now, I’m good.
Good is swinging with you in the porch swing playing I Spy.
Good is walking with you over to the office in the moonlight and stopping to shoot a basket or look at the night sky.
Good is our daily chats riding to and from school together.
Good is bouncing on the trampoline or squirrel hunting in the front yard.
Good is you.
You are tangible hope.
This guy you have become.
Touching my heart.
You live so pure.
A warrior of love.
Teaching me a thing or two about confidence and purpose.
Keeping me straight on most days.
So strong in who you are. Walking your own path.
Showing up as your one true self. Adding your sense of humor to the ordinary.
Making it all good.
And having a good life is everything.
I love you too much!
