I have been so excited about this time in his life. Excited for him, there is so much adventure that awaits him. Excited for me because I think we've done all that is humanly possible to prepare him to live a Christlike life outside our home and, well, I'm ready to watch how our family dynamics change when he's gone. I hope it's less "out of site, out of mind" and much more "absence makes the heart grow fonder".
I can't help but reminisce about his "firsts" and remember how curious I was about his future.
His future is now....
and I can hardly believe it's true.
And so, May is the "month of Drew". This month Drew will get anything he asks for. ANYTHING!
Why can I so emphatically say that? Because he won't ask for anything that is too hard, too extreme, too expensive, or puts anyone out... That's just the kind of guy he is.
I'm gonna miss that kid...that MAN.
I love him more than he'll ever know...
well, that's not true.
He'll know,
He'll know the moment he holds his first born in his arms.
Then the knowledge will rush over him in such a way that he won't be able to contain it.
And he will call me, as he always does, just to say... "Mommy, I love you." And yes, he still calls me Mommy .
Only no one really knows that so let's just keep it between us, OK?
