Comments on: My Son’s Leaving http://www.jaxxshirts.com/blog/4/my-sons-leaving God's handiwork is all around you. Look! And point out the glory of God to others.

I realize that Max's time at home with us is more than half over! I keep telling him that we are moving wherever he decides to go to college, because I can't imagine my home without my son, and I can't imagine not seeing him every day. Tonight, Mike and I went to a visitation for a young lady who passed away at age 17. I had never met her or her family. Mike knows the father from one of the boards he is on. It was very emotional for both of us. It certainly made us stop and think how blessed we are each and every day to have our precious baby girl. Every day, I realize how lucky we are to have our wonderful, healthy children. They are definitely our greatest blessings! The last few years, Max’s birthdays have been really hard for me.

You and Beth truly have a wonderful family. I remember taking my son Ron to A&M (he will be 49 this year) and I cried all the way home. I think when a boy leaves home for school things are never the same if he comes home,but mine married while finishing his engineering degree. You will find yourself at many activities with these children when a tear will quietly show up. My son has caught me with the tears rolling and he will say Are you having memories Mom? and of course I am,but I am so thankful for the opportunity for those memories. Tell Beth hello and give the boys a hug. Rusty, I was with Ray a few weeks ago when he,myself and my husband Ron stopped by. You and Beth truly have a wonderful family.

It was fun, but something about seeing my boy up on stage telling everyone he wants to be a basketball player when he grows up, while dressed in a green cap and gown (just like I wore when I graduated high school), just makes you think about how little time you have with them. Especially while they still think you are the coolest guy on the planet. And I get to do it twice more! Just wait till next year at this time when you are going thru Kindergarten graduation.

Now that we have twin girls and another girl on the way, it is amazing how fast the time flies!!! Our girls are already past 2 yrs now and it seems like just yesterday! We are truly blessed......and grateful for this time. It took us so long to have kids, it seemed like it would never happen.
