My son

Up to his early yrs of schooling, I walked holding his little hands made course by building sand castles in a nearby park. At times, when I got mad, I'd walk a bit faster and then he would try to catch up by running. I remember his little steps and his little hands. Now he is 22. It's the other way around. But, I do love to walk behind him. I love to see him holding as much shopping bags he could carry yet able to walk passed me. It's been 22 yrs now and despite of all different trials, he's the best thing that ever happen to me. Today is his first day in the military and I believe it's his fate and vocation. Both sad and happy, though.: dancing

kudos to u for all the years of sacrifice and hard work for what he is and who he is today.

i will keep our sons in prayers ....
Hi Tatami, I see the love for you son in what you write about him, and it is the same way I think of my son, he is my pride. He is a grown up man, he is 34 now, and he has given me two beautiful grandkids, but still he is mama's little boy in my head. I hope all will work out good for you son in the future. Thank you for sharing.hug teddybear teddybear bouquet
Hello Tatami , I could the warm feeling in your words, May God bless him for you.
Hi Tatami, although I don't have children of my own I do have a step son who is currently serving in the army, it's not what I would have liked for him but he's happy, here's hoping the world stays a trouble free place whilst your son serves in the army, for my step son I hope he doesn't have to do another tour in Afghanistan. wave

@Joleen, thank you very much for your prayers. BTW, are you a Pinay, too?
@Welela, I married at33 that's why I don't have any grandchildren yet. How I wish I 've got one like you.Thanks for sharing too.
@Omda, thanks for dropping by. Iam really overwhelmed with mixed emotions. Good thing I wasn't able to throw him out of the window during one of his worst tantrums.grin
@Z, here's hoping too that everything would be peaceful both Chinese and Korean leaders and realize they would be destroying not only what they considered enemy but their very own countries. Here's hoping you're stepson won't see another war-torn country ever again.
@Fotinia, thanks for the very warm and sunny smile.
@Dela, thanks for gracing my blog.
This is the beginning. This April 10 is the ceremony. I haven't been in that part of Japan and I'm looking forward going there. bouquet
