It feels so unnatural to watch this beautiful boy, whom I prayed for my whole life, walk out the door to his "other" home, his school-home, a state away from my arms........
He completes our family in a way I cannot explain.......I mean, we do o.k. while he is away, but we function so much better when he is here, with us, at home.........
And I see him, my beautiful boy, becoming an amazing man, right before my eyes..........Yes, he has grown so very tall, but he has grown in so many unexplainable ways, too.........It's something I can see in his eyes.......He has learned to endure, to face challenges, to bear responsibility, to nurture, to protect, to discern judgement, to be accountable and to love.........
And every time I see him, he is more my beautiful man than my beautiful boy........but make no mistake, he will always be my beautiful boy..........
And I am so completely full of thanks and gratefulness for the gift of him.........
And my heart and my love go with him, wherever he is.........
Always........
