18 years ago....
"It's been a helluva year as I sit
here wondering what this new life
inside of me is gonna be like. Ive
lost my grandmother and my mother is
in the nursing home and being alone
with a newborn child and no family
other than my husband is gonna be
scary as hell. What will he be
like, will i be able to take care of
him, will he love me? How will ever
know what to do?"
I remember it so vividly 18 years
ago today, two days before the birth
of my only child. I was scared to
death. As i perch on the edge of
his 18th year this Thursday I can
tell you there is no one in the
world I love more. It has been a
helluva 18 years for us both. Lots
of trials and tribulations but with
one thing constant. The love we
have for each other is undying and
forever. Kyle has his issues as
does any teenager. But has never
been in trouble, no drugs or alcohol
and in today's world that makes me
so proud. I did something
right..who would have thunk it?
I have raised an amazingly bright,
considerate, loving young man. He
is equally unambitious and
perpetually lazy lol but he is a man
afterall lol! We mirror each other
in so many ways that its eery. He
has mom's sardonic wit and takes
great joy in zinging me whenever he
gets a chance.
He is a gentle giant...6'4 and about
230 lbs size 14 shoe but in a
heartbeat second would be ready to
take on anyone who messes with me.
I been trying to gear him up for
life...with and without me since the
day he was born. Parenthood is like
being a mother robin. Taking great
care till the day of ultimate loving
when you push them from the nest to
go about a life of adventure,
mistakes and love and laughter on
their own. I used to joke about the
day he turned 18 how I was FREE
finally! But i really dont want to
be. My son is my hero, the person I
wake up for everyday to face life,
my reason for being, my ultimate
accomplishment. He has done without
much but has learned how to survive.
Just as the baby robins are taught
to survive by their mother.
He will be a good man, an excellent
father and a kind giving human
being. What more can I ask for?
I am so proud of him. When he was
born i wondered "what the hell am i
gonna do with him?"....
Now I wonder..."What I'm gonna do
when he flies?"...
Happy Birthday baby!
Mom
