Tears of a Mother
Recently, my son graduated the 8th grade and he’s off to high school in the fall. Like any proud mother, I am full of mixed emotions. I wrote this for him:
It seems like only yesterday
I held you in my arms...
You're taller than me now.
--
I'm so proud of who you're becoming (and who you are) –
So smart, so kind, so strong…
You’re getting wiser by the day.
--
I cherish every day we have together –
Every talk, big and small…
You’re the most creative person I know.
--
I sacrifice everything for you –
Gladly, unconditionally, with no regrets…
You deserve a better life than me.
--
I often wonder if I’m doing a good job –
Am I patient, loving, supportive…?
You are my guiding star and true purpose.

I’m so very grateful you chose me to be your mom; there is no other experience I want in this life. On a level I don’t understand, I truly believe you did choose me.
I love you very much @alex-icey, always.
Thank you cali-girl for such love shining though this posts! You son must be a very lucky boy having such a great, grateful and wise mom. I am sure he chose you to be his mom and therefore be the best person for him%) Yes, mistakeas are inevitable and I absolutely love the part "they are from not knowing and not from lack of love"!! I wish you and all the family all the best. And one small compliment from me in an art form%))

I had no idea @alex-icey was your son. I had naturally followed him and enjoyed his content. Wow. Well done you!
Now I have the question - who's Dad? :) I'd love to follow him too!
His dad is @themevlog
