My face but a mask is smiling at you
Did you see that small tear spill
Welling my sight as it trickled a path
From my crystal ball of what has been
It holds all the love and the images of you
From when you were born to what is now due
The power of need to protect you was strong
So unique you shined and could do no wrong
The moment you came into my life
Brought sunshine on the darkest days
Laughter when I lost my way
Your curls were silk made for touch
Your clearest eyes were honest with trust
I watched you learn and wander lost
Your challenges at first felt too much
Unsure of what was ahead of you
But knew you’d weather a storm or two
Inquisitive motions set you apart
Normalcy was not your chosen path
Tears are emotions we just cant contain
All the joy and some of it pain
Some of me and some of you
Is how it made you grow and bloom
Now I can only watch you go
My blue heart beating from afar
Wishing you a world of joy
You will always be my sweet boy
Love Mum
I’ll be experiencing this in 3 years. I’m not looking forward to it at all. 😦

It’s quite a shock especially if you’re single the house becomes so quite lucky I have two dogs!

Yes! My son 6ft4 body builder was always very loud around the house but now a pin could drop except for barking dogs occasionally

Oh no, this is so sad! I don’t want my children to become adults and leave, but that is what we strive for anyway! Can’t we just stop time? Such a beautiful, angelic face, I can feel your pain xx

I’m so sorry, my two at nine and nearly twelve and I’m already mourning the loss of their childhood. How old is your son?

Parenting is so cruel, you hand over your heart to your children, forgetting yourself in everything, just so they can grow up and leave. Be kind to yourself and know you’ve done a wonderful job, you don’t want them at home unemployed and unhappy either. And yes, yay for dogs, my dad is all alone in a tiny apartment in Johannesburg and glad for his dogs keeping him company. Xx
