I know as parents all of us adore our children, for many of you that read this it will be nothing new as to what you already feel for you own. But this little man is most and certainly a Little Wonder! He of course being my first! We have both traveled that road together. Him learning all that he needs to at 3,4,5 even 8 years old! I too have been learning along side him, as many of us know there is no training manual on how to be a Mother! Which brings me back to the day when he was born, and we were bringing him home from the hospital. I remember as soon as we strapped him into the car, and started driving home. I started too cry... the conversation went something like this
Mike- "Whats wrong sweetheart?
Angie- "It's starting! This path I'm on, and one day he will be grown and
he will start his first day of kindergarten , and he will have to get on the bus all by himself!
Mike- (my husband, wide eyed, with a look of...she has lost it!) said, "but honey that's five years away!"
Angie " I know, but it's the fact that it's coming!!! And I can't stop it! "
And as I write this I can't hold back the tears! Because it's still going, and I can't stop it! But am so grateful I get to enjoy the journey! You are such a gift, and really the teacher in our journey we have taken together. No guile, love for others, and always the one diffusing my stress by saying, Mom, just take deep breaths!" LOL! I love you Josh, and I'm so proud of who are, and humbled by your christlike nature.
