I can't believe today is here! My sweet Garett is 5 today. I thought today would be really hard but only a little misty eyed as I type this. My baby turned 5 and will be starting kindergarten. Where has the time gone?? He is the sweetest little boy that loves to snuggle with momma. He is now a big boy no longer needing me to do those little things any more. He can brush his own teeth, pick out his own clothes, and dress himself. I have really been struggling with letting him go and letting him try things on his own. Sometimes I want to push him out of the nest and let him fly on his own. Other times my heart strings want to pull him back and hold on for dear life.
I guess that is part of being a mom knowing when to hold on tight and when to set them free to explore on his own but knowing that a safety net is there to catch him if he falls.
Thank you Lord for blessing me with this sweet little boy. My life is so complete with him in it. I loved watching Zachary and Chase help today with Garett's birthday. Lighting candles, pick out presents, and helping set up his new toys. Garett has two wonderful big brothers!! So I made it through another milestone with one of my boys and I survived. Maybe I will make it through the next milestones that come our way.
Until then I will not rush the days away and hold on tight to the moments I have. I know my time with my little birds are coming to an end right before my eyes! Before I know it my 5 year old will be 18 and off to college. Tonight I will hold on a little tighter and prayer for their safe travel over the next several years!
