It was only yesterday when he came home with us, that little black haired, blue eyed, bundle. It was only yesterday that he fit in the crook of my arm and only yesterday that he gave his first smile.
I blinked…
It was only yesterday that his first words were da-da, it was only yesterday that he was pulling all the socks out of the drawer just because.I blinked…
It was only yesterday that he was playing in the box instead of on the Playschool slide I’d just brought home. It was only yesterday that he was running around the backyard with his daddy giggling.
I blinked…
It was only yesterday that he started kindergarten and I cried as he got on the bus and drove away. It was only yesterday that I had his first parent/teacher conference and read what he thought of me… “She’s a good cooker.”
I blinked…
It was only yesterday that he started playing football and it was only yesterday that I was sitting on the sidelines cheering him on.I blinked…
It was only yesterday that he was entering middle school and was watching out for his little brother. It was only yesterday he was helping me tile the bathroom.
I blinked…
It was only yesterday that he began high school and it was only yesterday that he learned to drive.
I blinked…
It was only yesterday that I walked upon the football field in his senior year, and gushed with pride as they announced his name. It was only yesterday that I watched him walk down the aisle and get his diploma and it was only yesterday that he began his college journey.
I blinked…It was only yesterday that I heard him announce his plans, his future set and departure final. It was only yesterday that I cried the tears as I said goodbye. It was only yesterday that my heart swelled with pride and I realized the journey I’d witnessed. It was only yesterday that I hugged him one last time.
It was only yesterday and I blinked…
Pretty soon you'll have an "only yesterday" about your grandchildren……I can't belive I have 3 in school this….where does the time go…I swear "I only blinked" …I'm sure I haven't slept a wink…..
Thanks Judy! It's all bittersweet…
