Elemental Anxiety-

My 11 year old son is graduating from fifth grade next week and I couldn't be any prouder of how he is doing in school. He has grown up to be an incredible child yet a little hormonal at time (completely understandable). Though my heart is enlightened by his accomplishments I cannot help but feeling utterly confused and scared to a certain degree. I find myself thinking "what if he is a victim of bullying in middle school" or "will he change with me?", all of those predicaments are causing an elemental anxiety in me; elementary school is ending.

I remember just like now his kindergarten graduation, even his first day. It all seems so fresh in memories yet it was five years ago. That gets me thinking, five years from now he will be in high school and in five more he'll be graduating from college (he IS going to college). My gosh, time is too precious, too long and too short, to harsh and too soft. Time is the epitome of patience and existence, of love, it is the antithesis of worry and uncertainty.
It has been quite a journey, what a ride it has been, filled with a whole series of events that have surely marked each and every member of our family. 


TO you my son I give my life, my heart, my love. To you who brought meaningful love and maturity to life in me, with your "warm huggies" and "milky kissies". To you I promise to NEVER give up, to never surrender and to hold on to that last tread of hope until the day God calls me into his kingdom. To you I leave a sister who adores you above everything else and who sees you as the greatest example to ever lived. I love you, and will forever carry the responsibility of motherhood to the highest standard possible, being that you carry the responsibility of childhood to that same level. A simple blog entry cannot express by any means how excited I am for you and how proud I feel my dear son, Te Amo.
