My little boy would have turned 37 on September 23rd.. but he passed 5 years ago. He was my only child but he was raised to be a true southern gentleman. At his service so many people came up to us and remarked he had such good manners and always had a smile and a great sense of humor. If I have done nothing else in my life I know that I raised a real good man.

Wow, I’m honored you shared that with me. I’m so so sorry for your loss. This post would have been worth writing if it was just for you, I’m so glad you found it.

This blog on “Dear Son, you’ll always will be my little boy” hit home with me. Just recently I received a Facebook memory where he had posted a message to me about his love and respect for me. I printed it (12 pages long). I wouldn’t take a million dollars for that letter. My son suffered with Crohn’s Disease and PTSD, but he never slowed down unless he was in the hospital. He even planned a 500 mile bike ride to support childhood cancer for June 2020.

A parent is never prepared to loose their child.
He’ll always be my baby boy for sure! Thank you for sharing this!

Regards,

As much I love this fun and sweet age I would give anything to rock them in my arms as infants again. Why do I always feel like I didn’t get enough time in their infant stage! If I could go back I would cherish it even more. I’m a working mom and it really makes you feel sad that they spend so much time in daycare! I always take lots of pictures and keep everything which will be a box full of memories one day! I’m trying my best to soak in their toddler hood before it’s gone!

This page has come into my life at just the right time. My son is about to turn 14 and I am realizing I am required to let go of some of the duties I have carried or he just won’t do them himself. But what happens when I do? He does them. He’s growing. And it’s beautiful. Yet somehow sad and scary for me as it is new territory. Your messages bring me comfort. Thank you, again. Hugs.

Trying to cherish every moment as its already going by so quickly. Thanks for the reminder to slow down. 🙂

Well, I say little boy. He’s just turned 19. He’s moved out of home to live with his girlfriend at her parents’ house while he attends university. It’s hard. It’s heartbreaking. It’s lonely. It’s incredibly special and amazing and an absolute honour to call myself the mama of this beautiful little boy, this incredible young man. I have nothing but pride and love when I see the adult he has become .. And yet I still wish for those days when I could hold him in my arms, when I was his whole world.
Trying not to let the tears of nostalgia fall, every bit as much as the tears of pride.
Thank you.

This is a heartfelt letter of the inside turmoil of watching my son get older. Every stage will require more letting go, but in my heart he will always be my little boy. I don’t plan on having an unhealthy codependent relationship when he’s married lol, if that’s what you mean.
