To Caleb

Things I want to remember about now and today... 

To Caleb,  I seemed to miss you more today than normal when I was in town doing a few errands while you were at school.  I'm not really sure why, but maybe.... 

Maybe it was remembering your cheerful chatter from this morning at the table while you were eating your breakfast and wishing you were along with me to talk to me the rest of the day.

Maybe it was throwing all the plastic bottles in the recycle bin myself and thinking how I could have waited until you were with me because you love that job so much.

Maybe it was seeing the Wii attachments at Dollar Tree and thinking how you would have asked for one.

Maybe it was going to the library and seeing all the Mommy's and little ones gathered for story time and thinking how I loved our time at our old library and the way you'd listen to the stories. 

Maybe it was hearing the little boy ask his Mommy why and thinking how I love when you ask me questions. 

Maybe it was because it is Wednesday and thinking of all the times we'd get up early before you were a school boy and go to the food pantry together.  Oh how I miss those days.

Maybe it was because as I watched you walk into the doors of your school this morning and head down the hall, I was so proud of you, so thankful for you, so blessed to be your Mommy.

I can't wait for our summer together with my favorite 6 year old! 

Have a day of blessings!

Each of those memories made me "awwwwwwwww" with you. I know the feelings of seeing your child growing up and the times together change, but there is always the opportunity to make new memories along the way!
I am so proud of you AND Caleb.
I love you!
