When they hand you these little creatures in the hospital it is quite astounding - the instant love you feel. Something quite unbelieveable. Like nothing you've ever felt before. And then all through the years you run through a series of emotions. But this one - the feeling of excitement for him and sadness that I won't see him every day, listening to his crazy stories, feeling his strength and kindness through some pretty tough times, laughing so hard with him I'd cry... oh I could go on and on... this has been one for the books for me.
I'm happy & sad all at the same time - crazy.
But I'm truly excited to see what's next for him - and hey - for us too.
Hope you're having a great day. Happy November!
No matter how far from the nest they fly, they are still OURS to want the best that Life can offer.
ReplyDeleteHow do we give them "roots & wings"? With all the Love we have for them, that's how!
Best wishes to you, and look forward to all the homecomings down the road. <3
