Austin turned 10 today.... it is a day still filled with much emotion. He came in this world at 7# 1oz. 19 inches long born at 9:35 on a Sunday morning.... Head FULL of thick, black hair (I have honestly never seen that boy's scalp) and I felt instant love that words do no justice to it. How cliche it is to say, "It seems like only yesterday you were born!" But, it honestly does. He is a decade old... and still growing and maturing and I can't stop it! I love to watch him as he faces and takes on the world, but I have a hard time taming the "Mother Bear Monster" in me. I still want to baby him (I admit it), fight all his battles, prevent all his hurts and disappointments, and jerk a knot in the head of kids that bully him! (I'm just being honest... it's a natural instinct I have to let God handle!!) But, I realized today, he will probably be 45 and I will still have those feelings, after all, I am his mother and that's my job. I try not to worry too much, but just keep him covered in a mother's prayers and do my best to teach him, guide him, and sometimes the occasional threaten him! But, I also remember that even though he was a miracle born to me, as an infant I gave him back to God. He is a child of God, covered by the blood, therefore, I know he will be just fine!
Austin, love your guts and you will always be my baby boy....even if you do have to grow up!!
p.s. A BIG HUGE thank you to Mom, Mimi, Poppie & Damion for hanging out at Laser Tag with us on a Saturday in Baton Rouge... love you for it!
