About 10 years ago, a dear friend of mine sent her youngest off to kindergarten. It was before I had any children, but I imagined that it would be so difficult when your baby started school, so I brought her flowers. Her youngest now starts high school tomorrow, and I am sending my baby to kindergarten.
And I would like to state for the record that everything I thought my friend may be feeling, I should have multiplied by 1,000x.

Brody,
I wish I could convey to you how much you mean to me, but there simply isn't a word to describe how much I love you. You are my heart, son.
There is a song that Ms. A played in your end of year slideshows. It has become my song for you.
Dream Big, B.
Dream Big, B.
Love
Mommy
Timmarie: Full time wife to Chris and mom to Addison and Brody. Loves gaudy jewelry, traveling, coffee, winter clothes, ice cream, and classic hip hop. Hates pharasitical behavior, especially in herself. Plans imaginary vacations.
Chris: Loving husband to Timmarie. Fierce father to Addie and Brody. Loves Jesus, MMA fighting, Diet Coke and a good card game. His heart can be found in a pile of mush when holding Koleson or any other baby. He is also known as Addison's hero or Brody's wrestling partner.
Addison: 7 year old Jesus freak with more attitude than one could ever prepare for. She loves making up dances and teaching them to Alivia, asking for a sister, and second grade. This girl will mother anyone and anything. She also enjoys wearing mismatched earrings and did I mention asking for a sister?
Brody: 5 year old autistic phenom. Or at least we think so. He loves Disneyland, coffee, phonograms, animals, and the computer. He also enjoys taking everything you could possibly google about autism and blowing it right out of the water. Most endearing, he likes to cause trouble and then smile and hug his way out of it.
Dareth. I am a girl journeying through this life trying to enjoy as many moments as possible. I desire to please God with my life on this earth while looking forward to heaven. I hope to enjoy as many vacations as possible along the way.



Thanks for the early morning tears;) I'll be thinking about you today!!
ReplyDeleteOh B Man,
ReplyDeleteI am so super excited about this new adventure in your life. But, how did you happen upon it so quickly???
Timm, I can't believe you're here today. But, I know that you will do great. You have equipped him for this new journey.
I love you, friend.
I will bring the tissues...and the dessert.
Hard to believe your baby is starting kindergarten! While typing this, I am sitting pretty much in the same spot I sat in seemingly yesterday holding a bundle of blue in the early morning while his mama and daddy made a temporary home in ours after theirs was flooded. "Where did that little bundle go?" seems to be the mantra of every mama as she faces this day in her life. Praying for you as you begin this new journey. One final thing...where are we meeting for coffee?!!:) Much love friend!
