MY OLDEST

Today when i dropped my oldest DaCota off at school i had a overwhelming sense of pride/emontion.  As he stepped out of my vechile in his dark washed fitted blue jean and valpo long sleeve green shirt which is also pretty fitted a belt around his waist and his back pack slung over his shoulder i thought to myself he's such a handsome guy. Yeah i know i am his mom and should think this way. But really he looked so put together. When he gets out as always have a good day love you.Yes i still tell him i love him and usually get a mumbled I love you back. As i drove away i couldnt believe i had a freshman. A freshman where has the time gone? But i started to think of our lives together in the past 14-1/2 years and wow have we had the journey. I won't get into all that i could be typing for days and i have house work to get done and a party to finish getting ready for. But there are so many different paths he could have taken so many different rodes that could have led to some many different things in life and yeah there may have been some bumps but he always got back on track to the right rode. I feel very blessed to have him as my son. I am so very proud of  him everyday. He is a great athlete he keeps good grades and has great group of friends. I couldnt have asked for more. He has really grown up on me. I am proud to be his mom and him my son. Sometimes i feel sad that he isnt a little guy anymore and we can't just sit down in front of the tv and watch a cartoon or read a book or go to the park. There are times i feel like i hardly get to see him between school and sports and friends. But that's part of growing up. In my heart he will always be a little boy! I hope he knows everyday how very proud i am of him and how special i really think he is. I wouldn't change a thing! Well.... maybe get him to take out the garbage more! lol Just kidding!  I love you DaCota and you will always hold a very special place in my heart! I am proud of you everyday! Proud that you make the right choices in life and choose to be yourself! Never change for anyone!
