This is me with my ds 1980 (with a Farrah Fawcett sort of hairdo) - his little mouth is wide open because I'm tickling him ; )
I found this sweet journaling idea when I was paper scrapping - made an accordian gift album for my ds this June and included it, printed and tucked into a mini envelope. It always brings tears when I read it -
The little boy you see in this photo is the man you love. Right now, as I write to you, he is only an infant. You may wonder why I’m thinking about you while he is so small but, you see, I know it is inevitable that you will be the center of his universe one day. However, right now, I am. And I’m thinking about you and hoping you love him and take care of him well. So much of his life, and how he will live it, will depend on you. You will help your man be a better man, or a worse man; you will infuriate and ignite his passions; you will support or discourage him; you will be his everything and I will watch him love you and make a future with you and I will wonder, “Where did my little boy go?” I will miss who he is today but I know he will be a good man. You will be very lucky to have him and I hope you realize how much I’ve prepared him for you. I will try my best to raise him to be honorable and trustworthy, hardworking and loyal, honest and decent man. One day you may look at me and question my motives; perhaps I’ll baby him too much, perhaps I’ll be too motherly. You may not like it, you may not understand it, but you will, when you have a son or daughter of your own. It is the cycle of life — the way the world has always operated. Mothers serve one role, wives another. We are two different women with two different objectives. You will want to be pampered, romanced, and taken care of. I have pampered, loved, and taken care of him. That has been my job, it is quite different from yours, and yet, in many ways, the same. I’m not comparing myself to you – you are more important, at least you will be when you read this. But right now, I am his world and he is my baby and when the time comes to release him to you, I may or may not struggle with it. I may not know how to let go, it may not be easy for me. So I ask you for patience and understanding. For you see a man, but I see my little boy; a history of our lives together, spent in a flash it seems, and then I awoke to face the reality that he is no longer mine. I will respect you and cherish you like a daughter, but when I fail to see my place, please break it to me gently. Take him from me slowly so it doesn’t hurt as much. And when you look in your child’s eyes, remember my words; for as women we face similar circumstances and we will share in our emotions for one man; albeit in different ways. Love can be so many different things to different people. For me this love is the shadow of yesterday and the hope for his tomorrow with you. For the man he is, for the child he was, for the baby I carried within me and loved until it hurt – unconditionally. So if I ever overstep my boundaries with you, remember my words, my baby is your man and while I can’t change the future, I also can’t forget the past. So forgive me for being a mom; it’s the only thing I think I know how to do well and I sure am going to miss my job; at least until I’m a grandmother. Thank you for loving my son.
