Weddings

Dear Jack,

Yesterday I danced with you at a wedding for the first time, and I had this moment where my current self and my future self must have thought about each other at the same time, because all of a sudden you were a grown man, and we were dancing together at your wedding, and in a heartbeat I was back to the present, with fresh tears in my eyes.

Don't grow up too fast, my darling son.

Love,
Mommy

Oh my...you added fresh tears to my eyes this morning as I wait to leave for the airport to meet our grands.

Love you, Amy, because of things like this. I have the same thought about once a month when dancing with my one and only daughter. I have begun to prepare myself *already* for an event that should not happen for a long, long time... eek!
