ONE FOUR

ONE FOUR

I am in shock that 14 years ago today was one of the biggest days of my life. They day I gave birth to my 1st child. The day that would forever change me in so many good ways. The day I would realize how much love I could have for 1 individual.

I love being able to celebrate birthdays with the boys, but this year I get a little sick to my stomach realizing how with each year he earns more responsibilities. Mainly, next year at this time he will be able to get a driving permit. Did I just say that? It really does make me shake in my boots just thinking about that little detail. I will savor this year in knowing it’s the last year that he will be a non-driver! Granted next year is just the beginning. He will not be able to drive by himself, but I’ll have to teach him. Hopefully, I can get Rob to do most of that. 🙂
