MY PRIDE AND JOY...

Where does the time go?  It seems like just yesterday it was May 18, 1988 and I was being handed for the very first time my beautiful baby boy. Wow how the time flies by. I was blessed with the most perfect child I could not have asked for anything more precious. He was bright, happy, loving and had gorgeous blue eyes. He excelled in everything he did from school, to soccer, baseball and vert skating. As I watched him growing I would often tell him to stop and place my hand a top his head because time was going by way to fast for me. His teen years were difficult. Unfortunately I decided to end my marriage of 18 years at about this time and it sent him into a tail spin. As much as I tried to be a strong figure in his life I am sad to say I lost my angel for a while.  He always assured me the divorce wasn't the reason for his choices as I carried so much guilt, that it was just him finding his way. Well find his way he did and by the grace of God and many many many prayers he once again is seeing the light.  Throughout his ordeal I did everything to keep the faith and even when all seemed hopeless God pulled me through, along with the support of my family. What I have learned from this experience as well as the difficult times during the divorce process is that we must keep our faith in GOD for he is always with us even though many times we feel alone. I am so very proud of my Son for he has grown up tremendously in the past two years and he is one day at a time bettering his quality of life.  He may never know how very proud I am to call him my Son or how very important he is to me. I thank god each and everyday for the Angel he has blessed me with.  I love you my baby boy.
