Princess Alexa Memories

My son just came home from a dance and was looking handsome, feeling confident and really happy. I watched him while he told me all about his night and then lip synced his way around my room.

I was struck by the sheer joy I was feeling inside watching this newly formed young man enjoy life. I remember him being just a small boy.

In that moment, I was hit with the realization that I am living IN the moments I never got with Alexa. I am experiencing his teenage years and witnessing the transformation from child to adult.

I know to my core how valuable this moment is.

I cried and laughed and hugged him with everything in me.

This is my child. I am so thankful to get to see him grow up. To be a mother is the most wonderful gift in life.
