What is on my mind..
Tomorrow is my son's 26th birthday and I am feeling a small level of sadness...
He's such a great kid but at this time in his life I was really expecting so much more for him. Don't get me wrong, I love him very much and I'm proud of him in so many ways, it's just so hard to sit back and watch him experience life through such unnecessary hardships and struggles. It's so hard to watch him live his life and experience his journey through his mistakes.
Each year I make my birthday wish for him that he will come around and use his talents, his brain and his abilities to do what he is so capable of doing. I see the kids on campus and wonder where he would be now had he followed through with his college education. He was the one to get me into college and then he bailed. Tomorrow I will make my new wish and maybe this time it'll be heard.
Till when I see him at his ultimate potential in life, I will continue to love and adore that kid for who he is at this time, because who he is right now is my son and no matter what his path is in life I really am proud that he's mine!!
Love ya kid and Happy Birthday!!
