Roots and wings

7/5/16:For the longest time, Cole would use the word “unless” anytime the word except would be considered appropriate. Ex. “I found all of the socks unless one”. So, he heard Mommy say except a lot. I would find reasons to use the word except. This just started and was just resolved in the last few months.

1240-jax is at church camp and I just got off the phone with Him-he sounds excited, but this momma is seeing future years flash before her eyes, and it is making me a little teary. Like I might be holding back tears right now. I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. They immediately laid him on my stomach, and I remember thinking I didn’t know you could love someone from the very first moment that you saw them. That seeing this person take their first breath would so completely and utterly take my breath away. That I would never be the same person again, because every time he is out of my arms, or out of my sight, or walks out my front door, or bikes away to meet up with friends, part of me goes with him, and it doesn’t return until he does. I hope I have and can continue to give him roots and wings.
