Sweet Sam

Last night Sam and I were laying in my bed. The lights were off, and it was time for him to go to his bed. He turned to me and said, "Mom, I love you so much."

"I love you too Sam. But one day, you will love another girl."

"MOM!" he gasped, "ARE YOU GOING TO DIE??"

I chuckled. "No" I replied, "at least not right now. I mean you're going to marry a girl."

"Oh no Mom. I'm going to marry you." he said with confidence.

Be still my heart.

Doesn't seem that long ago another 4 year old boy professed his undying love for me and his intention of marrying me. I think his feelings have changed over the years and I'm glad, but I'm sad. It's a sad day when your son doesn't want to marry you anymore.

sigh

Can't they stay sweet 4 year olds forever?

Oh...if that were so! There is just something about a mother and her son. As Mitzi would say...."It's a God thing". And I thank Him for it every day!

Love,
Cherie
