The blessing.....

One of my favorite blessings to me is relationship. I know that my children will not always be with me and the foundation we build is important. Andrew is my sweet firstborn. He is very mature, articulate, a thinker, very smart, honest and a gift to us. He is unique in many ways. I treasure him and as my first son he will always hold a treasured place in my heart. At 17 years old his time is short with us at home. That makes me sad. However I know as him mom our relationship can last a lifetime but as he grows older the pulling apart happens (as well as it should) and I get to see the incredible young man that I knew was always there.
