It feels like yesterday I called Wes at work and said I am in labor it is time to go! Not the best day of my life as far as that goes, but the actual getting to hold him part, most definitely was.
People always tell you time flies and I never really understood until we had Kercher. Time did fly before, but it didn’t seem to bother me as much as it does now. He is such an amazing little person. Everyday with him around is almost like a new adventure. What will he learn? What will he do? In my case will we go to the ER? It all just seems to be happening so fast.
Last year was rough for me. I am not really sure why, but Kercher turning one for me was very hard. I cried, and cried, and cried. I think it is because that is the day you have to admit that he is no longer a baby. Kercher had been walking for 4 months by then, off the bottle for 4 months, mumbling a few words, eating solid foods, but that day I had to say, he is a little boy. It was really tough, and as crazy as it sounds I kept seeing him graduate college. I know that is still 15 years away, but the fact of the matter is, in reality that is just not far enough.
Last night Amy and I had dinner at Applebee’s (not the best dinner we have ever had there, but that is neither here nor there) but she looked at me and said “when did they turn into little people”.? I said I don’t know, but they are just getting too big too fast!
It truly is amazing to watch him grow and turn into a little boy. All the sweet little things he does and says are just so amazing. I wish it would slow down, but since I can not make that happen, I will just continue to enjoy each and every day as they come and go. Pray for his safety and health. And wish for the best for him and his life. But it is still crazy to look at him and think I made that! Wes and I made that perfect little person.
I love you Kercher. And happy Birthday
