Oh My Goodness.
HOW is it possible the the 'baby' will be 2 next week????? NOOOOOOO. Make it stop. I am having a serious meltdown (I am SURE this is not the last one for the next week or so, LOL). Patton will be 2. WOW
Is anyone else this way? WHY is it so hard for me to see my kiddos grow older? I swear each birthday is harder than the ones before (and, people, we have had a GRAND total of only 4 SO far between the 2 NOT counting the one on Tues.) I have become my mother.
During my college days, when I would go home or if Mom would come visit..she would bawl like a baby when I/She left. One particular year was I believe the beginning of my Jr. year and she came to get me settled in...well, she had a flight back home (this was when you could still go inside an airport to see someone off..pre-911) and Corey (hi buddy!) was with me...Mom just weeped and hugged me forever....I wasn't embaressed or anything...but I just couldn't understand how she could be so tore up about it...I mean..I would be home for Thanksgiving, right?
Anyway...now 'I' am the blubbering fool about my kids (and please...save yourself...don't even ask me about what I am like when my PARENTS leave!!!!)
Time just won't stand still, will it?
Tammy....remember when I was pregnant with Xavier and visiting NC...you went with Mom and I to visit Brett's grave. The Dixie Chics came on the radio (or maybe it was my cd) and that sweet little song came on...
"Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)"
Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, will find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
Now I know why you shed some tears........

Boy, we have really had some moments haven't we? That was such a hard time. Thanks for giving me the warning about getting some tissues, although I forgot to go get them, now my nightshirt is wet and has mascara on it, nice... I know what you mean about them getting older, but enjoy every one. Make is special in some sort of way, make them a special birthday breakfast on their own special little plate, take lots of pictures because I know you never do.... right. Enjoy the birthdays, and thank God that you have those little ones to have birthdays with. It only gets better. I promise.
