i could quite easily live here. or be a housewife. chico has asked me a few times if he could come to canada and live with me. today he was getting the fire started, i was washing the beans and as i walked outside carrying a pot of beans to put on the fire i felt such contentment. i couldn't have imagined anything else that i wanted to do more. i was never a stay at home mom. i was either a single mom or the sole breadwinner. i am really enjoying all the cooking and cleaning and laundry and taking care of this family. i play soccer with the boys (i even bought my own soccer shoes which are called tacos), i'm their masseuse, i translate all the english songs they like. i can't imagine doing anything else. when danny was telling me about he and jonny going off to university in a year i felt such a sadness, like when your children grow up and leave home, except these aren't my boys.
love each other and take care of each other and enjoy each other because all too soon they'll be gone.
