Milestones

I just clued in. This has been a jam-packed year with major milestone events!

Most of which include Tyler. I never wanted to feel like one of those moms that had multiple children but managed to focus mostly on one child in particular.  

But as I filtered through my recent photos, I saw that over the past few months, the focus has pretty much been on him.  I felt a bit guilty. But then as I processed and went into deep thought about this, I quickly came to the conclusion, that this is perfectly okay.  It needs to be this way and I need to be okay with it. MY first born son will soon be a man. This is his last year of high school. He's had to apply for colleges, attend his last Water polo banquet, take multiple Senior pictures, ask his girlfriend to Prom in a unique way, celebrate turning 18, make some major decisions about his future, fight "senioritis" and soon gear up for his High School graduation.  Can this really be?  Yes, it can be and it is happening right now, right before my eyes.  I'll take it and I will run with it, and I will hold on loosely. I am thankful beyond words that I've got pictures that have captured these moments that can pass us by if we turn our heads for two seconds too long. Thank you, God. Raising this boy has been one of the greatest joys in my life. He had me at hello.
