In just a few hours, this amazing little guy will be graduating from Kindergarten.
I am so incredibly proud of him and the boy he has become this past year. He is such a great, loving, funny kid.
It's so odd how I can feel so happy for him, yet so sad at the same time. Such conflicting emotions. I'm finding that's the way motherhood works, though...
You find such joy in your children - such happiness when they are successful. You celebrate with them, cheer for them, hug them, kiss them, tell them how proud you are. And you are. You really and truly are because you want nothing but the best for them.
But, on the inside, a part of you aches. You cry. Because they are growing up. They won't be your little one forever. And you would give anything to just go back - one more night - to rock them and smell their sweet baby breath and hear their coos.
{Good grief - I sound like he's graduating high school and moving off! Can you imagine how bad it's going to be when they do start graduating high school? Heaven help us :) }
I love you, Noah James Maddox! I'm so very very proud of you!
"Amazing" by Janelle
You came from heaven shining
Breath of God still flows from fresh on you
The beating heart inside me
Crumbled at this one so new
No matter where or how far you wander
For a thousand years or longer
I will always be there for you
Right here with you
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
I hope your tears are few and fast
I hope your dreams come true at last
I hope you find love that goes on and on and on and on and on
I hope you wish on every star
I hope you never fall too far
I hope this world can see how wonderful you are
