Today, we celebrated the birthday of my son....he turned 35 on the 27th of February...
35 years old!!!!! Is that possible???? I am very close to my son...when Michael got sick he moved back to upstate NY from NC to be closer... so that he could help out when needed....He spends time with us every Monday on his day off...and I adore him....The connection I have with him started before he was born....like any Mother I suppose...but I was going through a divorce at the time I was pregnant for him...and he was my saving grace....he kept me from falling apart...My daughter was 2 years old and the two of them kept me sane (well...as sane as a mother can be with a baby and a toddler!! LOL) For almost 11 years (before I married Michael) I raised him alone...but Michael stepped into the shoes of Dad easily....he took Jason under his wing and jumped in...father and son bowling...little league coach...and Jason flourished....Michael is DAD to Jason....
So today...we celebrated his birthday by going to lunch with my daughter and grandson too....it was a wonderful day....and reminded me that I need to do that more often...make special days happen...be joyous....be happy...feel the love of those who love me....and whom I love very much.
But is it really possible that he is 35?????
After all....isn't that my age!! LOL
rambles from the shadow side of life...About living...about living with dying....This is where my heart will pour forth...this is where my shadow will be exposed...this is where I will cry...where I will laugh...where I will become one with that shadow of life...
