LJ,
It has been awhile since I have written to you. I have tried to find time but have been so busy with life and the craziness of our lives and then today I noticed something........ As I looked at you in the passenger seat, there was a little less boy in your face. I almost drove off onto the shoulder because my breath seemed to leave and not come back!!! It has begun......your journey into adolescent. I pray that I have several more years of seeing that little boy that drove me crazy, broke my heart, and could bring me to my knees. Did I waste all that time? I don't know but what I do know is that I look forward to really getting to know you as you grow into a young man. So far your life has always been what we have expected out of you and now, the tide has turned and we get to see what you will get out of life. I love you dearly and although I mourn the days of yesterday I am excited to see the man you will become in the days and years to come!!!!!!!! But for now, I will cherish and not think it a burden each night I get to sing our special good-night song!!!!
Love, Mom
