A Time for Reflection...............
As Nate figured out how to use the swing all by himself, I was so proud and yet so sad! It seems like just the other day Nate was a baby. I can't believe he is already three-and-a-half! Where did all the time go? Why is it that when you are a child there are too many hours in a day but as you get older not enough? Yes, I am rather melancholy! As I pondered all our time together my mind automatically went to things that are yet to come.......pre-school, high school, college, marriage. I do not recommend doing this unless you have a large bottle of tequila nearby! My little man is growing up! His independence is growing everyday and please don't get me wrong, I encourage it and am so very proud of all his accomplishments. I just miss the old days sometimes! I am terrified of the day when he no longer want kisses and hugs ( I am praying I can convince him he does)! I look forward to every stage in his life, but sometimes, I just need to remember where we have been! Nathan, you are my greatest joy and I will continue to love you unconditionally everyday for the rest of your life!
I decided to create this blog as a sort of "journal" for Nathan. I do not have the time or the inclination to put together a scrapbook for him. I am just not creative! We have photo albums for him but it is just not as personal. Thank you Lindsey for the wonderful blog idea!
In my son's eyes, I am a hero. I am strong an' wise, And I know no fear. But the truth is plain to see: He was sent to rescue me, I see who I want to be, in my son's eyes.
In my son's eyes, everyone is equal, Darkness turns to light, And the world is at peace. This miracle God gave to me, Gives me strength when I am weak. I find reason to believe, in my son's eyes.
And when he wraps his hand around my finger, Oh, it puts a smile in my heart. Everything becomes a little clearer. I realize what life is all about. It's hanging on when your heart has had enough; It's giving more when you feel like giving up. I've seen the light: it's in my son's eyes.
In my son's eyes, I can see the future. A reflection of who I am, And what will be. And though he'll grow and, some day, leave: Maybe raise a family, When I'm gone, I hope you'll see, How happy he made me, For I'll be there, in my son's eyes.
