He will always be my sunshine....

It seems as though the time just flies by. Where have all the years gone? And most importantly, how is it possible that my children keep getting older and I don't? Hahahaha, just kidding, I wish.

My son, Jeffrey, just graduated from 8th grade. That means he will be in high school next year.....what???

I made Jeffrey a special graduation card. My little note to him was a remembrance of the days I rocked him in my arms and sang "You are my Sunshine." I am sure he does not remember those days, but, I know I will never forget.

It is a proud moment when Jeffrey holds his Certificate and grins from ear to ear. I am excited and also a little sad. Sad to know that I just can't make these special moments freeze in time. I try to take lots of pictures these days, knowing, that is what we will have to look back on. I sometimes wish, I would have enjoyed a little more as my children were younger. Maybe not working so much, maybe not worrying about the dishes and the dust. Maybe rocking and singing a little more.

If you have little ones, cherish the time with them. The dishes and the dust will still be there tomorrow. Before you know it, they will be busier than little bees making a life for themselves. Then the days of rocking and singing will be over. I have tried to convince Jeffrey to sit in my lap just once more and let me sing to him...the look I get for that is priceless too and I will be happy to just hold on to that.
