Eight

My boy turned eight today. Eight.

It seems like just yesterday that I first held that tiny babe in my arms. I can still remember his sweet smell and the way it felt to have his head resting on my chest. Sometimes I secretly long for those days again.

I have to say that I am alarmed by how quickly the time has flown by. In eight more years the boy will be driving. In ten years he will be about to graduate from high school and will legally be considered an adult. How did this happen?

With each passing year, I become more aware of the limited time that I have left with my boy. All too soon, he will be heading out into the world to start his own life.
I don't want to waste one precious minute.

Thankfully, that won't be difficult because I am head-over-heels crazy about my boy. Just being near him fills my heart with joy. I am incredibly blessed to call him my son.

That's exactly how I still feel about you even after all these years. Time did pass too quickly but I'm still head-over-heels about you :)I'm glad you're my daughter.
