Double Digits

I got a little choked up with him last night.

I don’t do that as often as I used to.

There was a time when just looking at him would bring me to tears.

Especially when he was tiny.

Especially in Doctor’s offices.

Especially when he’s asleep in the back seat and the sun is rising beside us and we’re on our way to some adventure.

He’s the one boy who can and always will bring tears to my eyes, sometimes out of nowhere…. because he’s mine. It’s like looking a mirror sometimes.

Especially when he talks.

Especially when he’s feisty.

Especially when he becomes really passionate about something.

He’s my vivacious, cantankerous at times, precocious , ornery, talkative, and most definitely charming ten year old.

Happy Double Digits to my Dino Dude.
