A Little Overwhelmed

Things have been so busy lately getting ready for graduation I guess I haven't had time to really think about the fact that my baby boy is graduating. So many emotions come into play. I thought I was doing really good until the other night. Marty made the comment that his parents weren't sure if they were going to be able to make the trip from North Carolina for the graduation. Then it hit me. Those are Drew's only grandparents. A wave of total sadness swept over me. My mom and dad are not going to see him graduate. I just started crying. I couldn't help it. It's not like they haven't missed many other things since they've been gone. Maybe it's just because I am so tired.

Having our children grow up before our eyes is a sad and happy thing all at the same time. You want them to be strong adults and you pray that you have taught them the right paths to take through the years, but a part of you wants to keep them close and with you always. I guess that's just the cycle of life. Sometimes it just stinks. Especially for a mom.

Be blessed.
