I'm so grateful that I have these small humans in my life. Even though it's not easy, even though the days seem so long, and some days I just don't have it in me to be all that I should, I am so lucky to have this love. And this one here...she will always find me on my bad days and lay her head on my shoulder. The world may think you're so disconnected, but you always seem to know, and always find a way to connect to the very heart of me and mend what needs mending. With a touch, a look, a cuddle. Without a single word, you just seem to know. Thank you for the reminder: that I AM enough, that I AM loved, that I AM needed...that tomorrow is another day.

How to Survive a Modern-Day Fairy Tale by: Elle Cruz

How to Survive a Modern-Day Fairy Tale by: Elle Cruz

In these trying times romance has been a happy escape for me. If you ask any romance reader, they’re likely to tell you they dive into the genre for the good feelings and great characters with backgrounds and histories and relationships that suck you in making you forget all the blech going on. I saw the cover, read the premise and thought this book would be another happy escape. Instead what…

ccruz replied to your post: Moving kiddos

I have one who is essentially soldier crawling every chance she gets. The other gets in the traditional crawling position (sometimes even completely on all fours) but has only managed to go backwards.

Well at least I know that I'm not alone with two different moving kiddos.  I was thinking " Hey, maybe we can just teach her to walk instead of crawl since she'll stand up alot of the time."  But my mom said that then she won't be able to use scissors lol.  Geeze lady!

[ccruz]

It was just two weeks ago that she ran off. Just a moment and she was gone. It has been such a stagnant year and I think she felt it that day in her bones and just needed to run. No shoes, no sense of danger, just ran out into the big wide world.

When the twins were younger, they would see open land and just dart out if you weren't holding their hand. They'd slow down a bit, even look back sometimes and laugh and we'd catch up, hearts beating out of our chests, thanking the heavens that their little legs didn't allow them to outrun us. Did she look back this time? Did she laugh? I thought I knew fear before, but I was so wrong. I couldn't and still can't stop thinking about the what-ifs. What if she's in traffic, what if she has a seizure, what if she goes off with someone, what if she finds water. What if? I've had literal nightmares of all the parental worst-case scenarios before. Things you probably never imagine, but that real-life moment was fear tenfold.

When they said she was found and fine, I didn't breathe a sigh of relief. She was fine, she was safe--but I think I took an extra breath and I still haven't let it out. This was just an hour of our lives and I've never been more scared. But she just wanted to go. Sometimes we all just want to get up and go.

I kept thinking about how she may have tried to get to a playground because she loves to swing and will literally swing for an hour nonstop. So since that day I keep taking her to the swings whenever I can. Trying to show her that soon we'll be getting back to how things used to be. So I'll just keep pushing and watching them swing. I'll keep pushing. It could be a few minutes or literally an hour. Regardless, I'll keep pushing because for about an hour one afternoon, I almost knew what never again felt like.

[ccruz]

I really have no way of knowing how much of all of this they understand. They're nonverbal, I can't just ask them what they think or feel about it and actually get a clear answer. I just tell them as simply and directly as I can, and hope it makes some sense to them. I don't know if they think I'm just being mean for not taking them places or letting them go to school. I don't know if they understand that the video meetings with their small class may possibly be all the school socialization they get this year. I don't know how much emotional damage they're going through. I don't know if they're learning anything new. I don't honestly know if they will regress terribly and lose the few skills that they've worked so hard on because I can't possibly supplement the daily skills of a special education teacher, a speech therapist, an occupational therapist and a behavioral interventionist while also being their mom. I just don't know. I can just keep trying and hope for the best, even if by the end of most days I feel like I've accomplished nothing at all. I'll keep picking up the pieces of all of these broken days and try to put them together.
