feelings

This is what my eyes saw:



This is what my heart felt:

All I could remember when I saw my baby getting his diploma was where the heck was that little guy I held in my arms over 18 years ago?!? I ask myself if I had a magic wand would I do it all over again? Of course I would. All the tears, all the laughs, all the good times, all the bad times -- I would do all again. I miss not holding my little guy in my arms. The only thing I would change would be those times when I was a little too busy to stop what I was doing to look down and tell my son how I love him or to stop what I was doing (dishes really can wait) to play on the floor more than I did or to stop what I was doing to push him just a little bit higher for a little bit longer or to make time to go to the park today or... the list can go on and on. I hope I did okay. I hope he can look back and say, yes mom, you did okay. Though I have not officially said good-bye to him yet, I can already tell it is the hardest thing I have ever done. What the heck am I going to do in 3 years when Natalie does all this?
