My Day

See this kid? He's mine, and I'm one proud momma! I cried at his graduation, freaked out during his wisdom teeth removal, steamed when he did something he knew he shouldn't, laughed over silly stuff, got hooked watching Walking Dead with, and boast over his accomplishments. He has turned into a responsible adult that I am proud to call my son, who I soak up watching be a big brother. In 6 short days it will mark the 4 year anniversary when he became part of our family, and I thank God for the luck in getting him, I will never forget that day! When he comes to visit I can't get enough of how loud my house gets with the laughing of my guys, and I miss the way it was before he flew from the nest. And you know what else, this fine young man is about to become a fine young Marine, leaving for boot camp in a few months. While I can't wait for him, and I look forward to attending one of his graduations once again, I also know that's it, he is an adult, holidays likely won't be the same, and the possibility of visits will be much more limited. He will have so many more milestones to accomplish that will take up his time and attention. So, from now on, I will just relish the time we will have together and wait to hear about his accomplishments!
