The journal was started when I was just five months pregnant.
Words written in ink, a permanent reminder of this time in life. Time with life. Time full of life.
Before he was named, he was knew. Before I felt him, I loved him.
The journey of motherhood changes with the years, and it changed me.
I was no longer that twenty something mommy, fresh with anticipation.
The years between then and now have taught me and challenged me.
I’ve laughed more than I cried, hugged more than I hurt, learned and realized more than I ever thought I would.
And shouldn’t it be that way for us all?
From infant to young adult, the years have melted away.
My son is now a man. Intelligent, strong and tall……
Graduation, university……this one crazy and special life, full of possibilities.
I am trying to be ready.
My grip has loosened over the years. Preparing for this very moment.
The moment is fast approaching when I will watch him go.
He is ready.

Happy Mother’s Day this Sunday, to all the mothers, in whatever stage you are now in……
Psalm 139:13 for you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
It Just Dawned On Me 
God has prepared him, and you, for such a time as this. Congratulations on ushering your life blood into manhood.
