Well Christmas time is here once
again, I’ve put the tree up as I do each year, and your stocking has been hung
with care. Oh yes Christmas is in the air, but this year is different for
you’ve grown up and taken a wife, you’ve started your grown up life. As I go through the Christmas decorations I
see the ones you make when you were my little boy. Oh how my heart swelled with
pride joy and love when you brought these trinkets home saying “I made this
just for you and of course your new Christmas ornament went right on the tree
at once, you’ll never know how much joy you brought into my life the day you
were born, I must admit I miss those days when you were mommy’s little
boy. I
close my eyes and I can still smell your baby lotion, oh my the diapers
I did change! Excuse me while I dry my tears. Oh where did the time go? It was
only yesterday that we went to see Santa remember you always told Santa “ I just want too
much”. Did I rush through life working late so you could have more toys, more clothes and more of everything I
never had as a child. Oh where did the time go you should still be playing
doctor with the cat and dog you grew up with. And we should still be playing
chase out in the yard and through the house I should still be the room mom
baking cookies for you to take to school, I should still be, walking you to
your first grade class- oh I miss those years so! Did I take them and you for
granted? Oh I hope not! I think sometimes if I could only have you little once
more I’d do things differently! But then I realize- that a single mom and her
small son did OK! After all you’ve grown
up to be a fine young man with values and morals that makes my heart once again
swell with love pride, and joy. For I
know that you’ll always be my little boy! Merry Christmas son.
Love,
Your Mom
