"What Is A Son" |
A son is a warm spot in your heart, and a smile on your lips.. In the beginning, he is charming and innocent, Putting his complete trust in you. He comes to you for a hand to hold, and for the security only your arms can provide. He shares his tales of adventure, and knows how proud you are of his discoveries and accomplishments. All his problems can be solved by a hug, and a kiss from you. And the bond you share is so strong, it is almost tangible. Time passes, and your innocent little boy starts to test his limits. He lets go of your hand to race into the midst of life without thinking ahead, or looking both ways His problems have grown along with him, and he has learned that you can't always make his life better or kiss his troubles away. He spends most of his time away from you, and though you long for the closeness you once shared, he chooses independence and privacy. Discoveries and accomplishments aren't as easy to come by now, and sometimes he wonders about his worth. But you know the worth of that young man. He is your past and your future. He is hopes and dreams that have made it through each and every dissapointment and failure. In your heart, your son is precious and treasured. Together, you struggled through the years, trying to find the right amount of independence for each new stage of his life, until finally, you had to learn to let him go. Now, you put your trust in him, leaving that son, whom you hold so dear, totally in his own care. You hope he always remembers that you have a hand for him to hold, and arms to provide comfort or support. Most of all, you hope that he believes in himself, as much as you believe in him, and that he knows how much that you love him. (Barbara Cage) |
I would like to introduce my oldest son and fourth child, Todd. He is 32 years old, and the father of my grandson Travis. Todd is an outdoor person, who loves to fish and hunt. He is now, and always has been a very loving son. Todd is a wonderful son, and I like any mother would be, am very proud of him. Todd lives in St. George, Utah at the moment, but is planning to move back to Alabama in the near future. I am so glad. I miss him very much! |
And now for my youngest son, and also my youngest biological child, Will. Will is 29, ( that's his son Luke, my youngest grandchild on his shoulders). He, like his older brother, loves the outdoors. His passion is fishing, and when he's not working, he's fishing! (smile) He lives in Alabama, about 30 minutes from my home. Will is very special to me, like all my children are, but I guess because he was my "baby", I probably spoiled him more. (smile) |
