Jan 4, 2012......Wow! Its really hard to believe the past year has come and gone. I remember being a little girl and hearing that alot. And yet here I am saying it. lol, guess thats how it works huh?! It has been an interesting year. We just returned from our sons wedding. What a mix of emotion. I find myself remembering him as a small child, then I would get started crying. It was a beautiful wedding and I am thrilled with his choice of a wife. She is a wonderful christian girl who keeps him centered and pointed toward Christ. Just what a wife should do!However, I also find myself needing to be reminded in my own head that I need to speak and treat him like an equal now. He is a grown man, and although still my son, I must address him as a man. Interesting, my own father, whom I love very much, forgets this sometimes and in fact this weekend at the wedding spoke to me as if I were a little girl again. I had to laugh at the irony of that. It drove the point home to my heart how important it is that I let my son and his wife be who they are, not who I envision them to be.
So, here we go with a new year, a new start and a new phase of my life.....LETS GO!
What a ride :)
