Last Day
Today is the last day.
It’s the last day of pretending. It’s the last day of closing my eyes to the obvious. It’s the last day of ignoring what’s happening around me.
Today is my last day of hanging on to the hope that I “he” will be forever young because….
tomorrow (less than 24 hours from now) my baby youngest son turns THIRTEEN!
ugh
sigh

in through your nose
out through your mouth
INHALE

inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale inhale exhale INHALE EXHALE INHALEXHALEINHALEEXHALE
pass out
Reasons to carry on in spite of this -
He still gives me hugs a dozen times a day and I don’t have to ask for them.
He still wants me to tuck him in at night.
He still calls to check on me every hour if I am not home.
He likes to sit next to me on the couch.
and most important of all….
he says that he never wants to move out and if he ever does it will just be across the street!
He gets me.
Love…. that’s all … just love … I have a 37 year old who does the same thing … except he’s now married and lives in Brooklyn …
What a heart-warming post! Thank you for sharing your life with us! Z
ahw, if that isn’t just love?

Last day. Leading to the first day of what’s next.
I bet with a kid that cool, it’s even more fun!
Pffft, he’s not growing up. Physically, yes, he’ll get taller, but he’ll always have that mischievious child like outlook on life! Forever young. Happy Birthday 13!!!!!
Seriously don’t let him move out. Buy him a lot of stuff so he will stay!
Love the photos!
I can’t imagine 13… the boy just turned a year old and I am already dreading him moving out. I tell him all the time that he can just live with Mommy forever. Of course, my step daughter turns 18 in 6 months and I have NO IDEA where the last 12 years she has been in my life has gone.
ohhh, do I know this feeling, my son is 22 turning 23 in a few days time…moved out this year, and for the first time the word “empty nest syndrome” has a very pain full meaning…I really enjoyed this blog! Excellent~!
