Through A Mother's Eyes

On Thursday, Paul will begin Kindergarten. One part nervous, one part excited, he will most likely hold my hand as his Daddy and I walk him to his class. With cameras in tow, we will document his first day of school (and hopefully not embarrass him) . People in the hall will see my little guy proudly wearing his new backpack as we head towards his class.

But they won't see him through his mother's eyes...His mother will see a little boy who will always be her baby... even as he grows and learns to do new things.

And she will ask herself, "Where have the past five years gone?" She will selfishly beg time to stand still for just a moment more and tearfully realize the impossibility of her request. But deep down inside, she knows that a new adventure is just ahead with more childhood joys just waiting to be discovered together.
