Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

His "double digit" birthday is causing me to choke up.


Any other Moms of boys ever feel especially...oh, I don't know the word! Misty?

We are growing these boys up to be Men, and to leave, and be the head of their own family.
With daughters...the relationship is so different.

sigh.

Ladies, I just don't know how much more change this mommy-brain can deal with this year.

Nicholas is my only child to hit the double digits.

It really was a big deal for me.

No matter which birthday we celebrated from then on, he would never be in the single digits again. Yes, it was more emotional than I thought it would be.    When he turned 9, I remember thinking I still had 9 years until he reached 18. At 10 (!!!), if he left to college at 18, I have less time with him than he has been alive.

Monday he turns 12....my baby is going to be a tween! Time seems to have sped up. I'm down to six years before college.

Now I'm getting emotional.

   Big hugs, Laura.
