I'm feeling a little down lately. Time seems to be going by so fast. School ended 8 days ago and I now have a high school senior on my hands. I have hit 40 and d has hit 18 and it just doesn't seem possible. I'm not ready to let go, but what parent ever is?
It seems like it was just yesterday that my dad and I had tricked d into walking instead of reaching for
Furniture to grasp into his tiny hands. D was late, more like lazy on learning to talk no matter what I did I couldn't even trick him into talking. When he was 3 years old we moved from the west coast to the mid west to my home state and my grandmother had him talking up a storm within a week. Thank God for great grandmothers!! ;)
And then I must've blinked cause the next thing I knew he was starting kindergarten and from there the time just took off from underneath me. Constant school functions, a short time in the school band, sports starting in middle school. The typical teen parent arguments and me pulling my hair out.
But now a year from now that chapter in life will be over!
But I am excited over the next chapter in life. I can't wait to see where his journey as a adult will take him. I know he wants to go into the military but hasn't come right out and told me this. Probably because I want him to go to college! But I can't force him to go regardless of what I feel or think, right!?!
Life as a single parent has been a journey that has its ups and downs! I have had help raising him by my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and the most important person my ex whom he looks up to as his father figure. I appreciated that help cause I honestly would get overwhelmed at times.
I seem to be blabbering in this post so I'm going to end this one. I will be posting all of d's senior stuff
Once school resumes in the fall. I'm always meaning to post blogs but never seem to have the energy to do it but am going to start making time for it.
Happy Sunday oh and happy Father's Day to all the fathers and mothers pulling double duty out there!!
