Through tears, I can’t seem to find the right words.
Six years ago today, after enjoying a pedicure (those were the days), and just shy of two weeks overdue, as I approached the mall entrance doors, my water broke.
I can’t believe it’s been six years. 
My life has taken a spin for the better since that day. Parenting is one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given. I wouldn’t trade any of this for the world. Any of it.
But, it never amazes me how fast it goes. William’s birth day feels like yesterday. I remember everything so clearly; the smells, the feelings, the people, the love, very little has faded for me, if any.
It was definitely one of the best days of my life.
This past week my “baby” graduated Kindergarten. This milestone, and this birthday are the hardest yet.
(Maybe it’s my period? I’m hoping it is my period…While you send a birthday wish for my baby boy, feel free to send this mama a much needed hug, please.)
I don’t want to miss anything. I keep turning my head leaving another year in the dust. I want so badly to see him grow up to a beautiful, handsome, young man, and I am enjoying it, don’t get me wrong. But, there is this endless sadness right now for me that my baby is six. My baby, is a Kindergarten Graduate.
No one could have prepared me for the tears that hit me this week saying goodbye to this first year of school. Nothing. The only thing that is helping me to hold it together (if you can call this holding it together) is knowing that we get to enjoy his teacher and friends all again next year (with Rawni being her class). Wow, could I use another year parenthesis? Why yes, I think there was one more than I needed to close up…)
Let’s blame it on hormones, man I hope this is hormones…
