Today is Character Day at school. This is the last Character Day at their school and the last year of elementary. I\u2019ve been looking back at all the photos throughout the years of Character Day costumes and I can\u2019t help but cry. Tears of joy and sadness. Tears of just all the emotions building up inside screaming to come out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had superheroes, animals, the cast of Frozen, Harry Potter and so many more. Each time they were proud and so excited to show school spirit. They were so happy to take part in such an amazing tradition. Each time we enjoyed putting ideas and thoughts into motion. It\u2019s been such a fun ride celebrating in school with their friends, teachers and staff. This year, today, was no different. They beamed with excitement leading up to the day. They had a few changes in their costume plans but after it all they each chose the best outfits to wear for their personality. It was no more buying of costumes, instead it was putting together what they had to make it work while adding their own flare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today my daughter is a French artist from Paris. A place she can\u2019t wait to visit. While my son is Mets pitcher Jacob DeGrom. After all, he\u2019s been practicing to become a pitcher and perhaps one day he will play for the Mets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe this mom is just extremely emotional today or maybe it\u2019s that I look at these two and feel with all of me how much I love them. How very proud I am of them. Maybe it\u2019s because they came into this world fighting so hard to be here and here they are. Stronger than ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are my beautiful miracles. My growing life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look at them and can\u2019t believe my husband and I made these two beautiful hearts. What a gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
