It Happened

People said it would happen and I'm actually experiencing it. My first-born grew up. I'm sick to my stomach. He'll be 13 this year - a teenager. My baby is gone. I noticed his voice is changing. His attitude is more mature, yet still stinks at times. His concerns are greater. He's a big boy now and it really does seem like it happened overnight! Sigh...you really don't realize how short life is until you watch a child grow up. Wait a minute! Did I say teenager? Oh my goodness, I'm going to be the Mother of a teenager!! His birthday isn't until November, so I still have a few months to mentally prepare myself. It happened...it really happened.
