Thank you. It's a surreal moment. He is ready and I know he is ready, and still... just a few more years, please? (though I know that after that, I"d still ask for more)
I thought of you this weekend...I went away with a girlfriend, my first trip without husband and/or child in well over 10 years. At breakfast this morning we saw several tables of preschool children...their families were all there for the Thomas the Train amusement park. Between thinking about you and Alec and missing my own child it was all I could do to not burst into tears. I just kept thinking how "forever" childhood and young motherhood had felt when my kid was 3 or 4.
I can't even imagine all that has been inside of you over the last year, and especially this weekend. I know it's beyond description, the combination of pride and happiness and heartache.
Yes, yes there are! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteBaby, you've come so far!
