Lil Lug,
Mama is having some emotional moments just thinking about you turning a year next month. Today I’m saying 11 months, tomorrow a year and the following day I will be saying 11 years old….okay I know it won’t be that fast; but it wouldn’t surprise me. I find myself reminiscing every day about the time we have already had with you! But, right now I’m just going to reflect on your last month of life and the moments that pull at my heart strings. Were at the first of many stages of mama having to step back and let you “learn to stand on your own”. This month I mean it quite literally, I could run to your rescue and help you stand on your own to avoid getting hurt; but if I do that, you will never learn what is necessary. I have a feeling, its just going to get harder and harder for me to keep back and let you learn…of course I will always be here to help guide you along when you need it, and even in those moments when you don’t think you need guidance! Klayton, just bear with me this month as I shed a few tears and hold you, kiss you, hug you even more than I already do…next month this post will be saying, “Klayton you are 1!”
Love You, No Matter What,
Mama
