I was cleaning a little in my oldest child's room and found a photo book of when he was younger. I was overwhelmed a little with emotions that I began to shed some soft tears. It amazes me at just how much he has grown. We are staring at 10 years old just around the corner. Can you believe it? 10 wow. He is sometimes challenging and sometimes a bit of a headache but he also has an amazing spirit and an incredible heart. He is so smart that sometimes it gets him into trouble and even through it all I can't wait to watch what adventures he is going to have and experience. He is stubborn and very strong willed and sad to say he didn't stand a chance in that department! In the past 9 years I have watched this little boy grow into a young man and I am amazed at how he has taken everything he has been through and came out of it stronger than before. I'll admit we have faced somethings with him that I don't wish anyone to have to grow through and yet he seems to take it like a grain of salt, accept it and move on from it with a greater understanding of how to handle hard times. What a great example of a child's strength. So today I am greatful for God allowing me to be a mom to such an amazing young man and I pray that I am able to show him what kind of person he needs to be and that I continue to show him love and grace. I love you always little man!
