“Don’t wait to make your son a great man – make him a great boy”

Unknown

Like many mothers before me I am finding it hard to believe that  the sweet little boy they place in my arms almost 18 years ago is now a young man.  My head is spinning with how quickly this time has passed.  Soon my sweet boy will be graduating high school and then he will be off to make his way into the world.  I would be lying if I did not admit that I am dreading the day he leaves the nest.  Not because I do not trust that I have raised him well or that he will not be able to find his way; instead because I so enjoy having him part of my daily life.  He has grown up to be an amazing young man and I am beyond proud that he is my son.

I have been so busy lately with clients that I wasn’t able to get around to taking his senior pictures until last week. Of course, this wasn’t a big deal for him because he would have preferred not having senior pictures taken at all.  Well being the kind and generous son that I raised he humored me and allowed me to take his senior pictures.  Anyone who knows my boy understands what a big deal this is because he absolutely hates having his picture taken.  I am glad his love for me out shined his desire to hide from the lens.  I have to say when all was said and done we had a really great time together while getting his shots. I would do it all over again a thousand times over. Thanks Kiddo!
