I realize the life before me...how precious it really is. My responsibility- never ending.
It's a full time job. You can't take breaks- you can't expect to.
He looks at me and stares- focusing on my facial structure...recognizing me. He stores it in his memory.
Tomorrow he will look at me again- only a little brighter. He learns new things everyday.
It's crazy to think that I have grown up so fast- that he is growing so fast.
I wonder how my mother and father feel- about me growing up so fast? It seems like just yesterday I was on the playground enjoying the merry-go-round.
He holds my finger with the tightest grip- studying every inch of it.
If he could talk what would he say?
Time will pass, however, soon enough. He will be saying 'Mama and Dada' in a matter of months.
If time could stop for a little while, when would I want it to pause? When he is crawling, walking, talking, running? When he is graduating?
Graduation- wow that's a lot to take in.
Not only am I overwhelmed about my own graduation, now I think of the day my son will graduate.
What will he be? A doctor, a vet, a musician? What will his interests be? Who will be his role model?
A lot to take in- that's part of being a mother.
Oh Brianna, it feels like just yesterday that we were in middle school and always talking with each other. It's crazy to think about all that has happened in all that time that has gone bye. Now you have your own beautiful son and get to enjoy his company everyday. I know you will be a great mother even as he grows up. I hope that you will be able to experience life at it's fullest as the years go on. I wish the best for you my friend! :) keep on smiling!
