Comment on Mom is Forever by Nicole

I never had an idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up, least of all a Mother. At 33 when I had my son, I knew that I being a Mom is what was working toward all that time. Thankfully, I am great at it! Not to mention I have a wonderful husband who is a fantastic Dad! Our main focus is being parents. EVERYTHING else is secondary!
Viva parenthood!

For all of you mom’s watching that toothless boy walk away as a man — especially you Paula — here’s to hoping they ALL come home soon and often.

XOXO to all

You summed up how we all feel when the baby goes off to Kindergarten (then Middle School, then High School). They will always be our babies our last firsts and it’s like a door closes with each new 1st. My almost 7 year old baby has been hugging me like there is no tomorrow this week and I am drinking it all trying to sear this memory into my brain because soon he won’t let me near him. Great post Darcy..now I need to go find my baby and get a snuggle while I can!

From the day we brought you into our home Milly was the light of our life, now she has passed on way to soon. We will miss you always and forever.

Life with children is not only about first-but “last” firsts. Last Sunday, as I readied the children for the first day of school, I realized it was my son’s last-first day of school. And not only will he be a senior this year, but in less than 10 months will leave on his journey to becoming a US Marine. I could, at that moment, so very plainly see him in my mind on that first day of school, waiting for the bus with his oh-so-big backpack, and wide toothless grin. He has grown into a handsome, mature, young man with his heart and thoughts in the right place -most of the time anyway! And although I too, miss the days of snuggling, I am proud of what he has become, and what I feel sure will be a bright and promising future for him.

My comments are short and sweet. I, too, have boys and I could not have expressed these exact emotions as you have done. I cried as I read your post because these are the things I think about daily. Thanks so much for sharing.

it’s the simplest things I remember about my three children….especially my “angel” heather…. her telling me she loved me, hugging me tight, her soft cheeks as they brushed up against mine as i kissed her good night. her smile, probably the most i miss… it literally made my darkest days bright. cherish every moment God gives you with your child…. 19 years was not nearly enough with my heather. I love u sweetheart!!! mommy misses you so…

@Marina – Thanks for your lovely comment. I suppose that waiting anxiously to see if we’ve done a good job parenting our little ones to independence is a big part of the angst we feel as these changes weave in and out of our lives. Sounds like you have a great outlook & I’m betting your children will be happy in their lives.
