Mommy's boy
I am the mother of a 2 year old. I can hardly believe it. I still remember driving in my car and crying my heart out because I was having thoughts of, "What if I never have a child? What will I do with the rest of my life? What will it mean?" I have always wanted to have children - I was never scared of childbirth, only of parenting. But my life never seemed to head in that direction. Life is still nowhere near where I dreamed it would be right now. I never meant to be a single parent. But I am the fortunate one, to have this beautiful, loving little boy to love, and to love me back.
Happy Birthday, my wonderful boy!

What a sweet boy!
I didn't have quite the same experience, but I too have always wanted children.
I remember as far back as kindergarten, our class singing "What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up". When it was my turn, it was always a 'mommy' or a 'teacher'. The teacher thing didn't last much past the very early grades, but the mommy thing stuck.
I did have thoughts as I got older of 'what if it never happens', but nothing traumatic.
I am very fortunate and very thankful that in my case, it has worked out pretty much as I had always dreamed. All too often, I take it for granted.
My kids are my life (and my husband is too! Can't leave him out!)
Thanks for reminding me to be thankful for what I have and not thinking about what I don't have!
Thank you in return, Lynn, for reminding me of the same.
While I wrote that, I was actually thinking a LOT about the things I think I'm missing out on. But if there was ever a time in my life to focus on the present and on what I've already got, then this is it.
2 years old!!! wow!! cutie Myles!
Happy birthday Miles! Sorry I'm late with my wishes.
Thanks for the post that challenges all of us, Tracy, to focus on the positive and be thankful for our beautiful children.
Wow does that picture ever make you young man look a lot older than he is. If you did not know he was 2 you might think he is 4 or 5 yrs old.
What a handsome dude,
Tracy what a fabulous mother you are. I have watched you raise your son and you are doing a wonderful job.
Tracy I have always wanted to be a mother and it was not in the cards for me. But it is an honor to be an aunt to my niece and nephews and to be a special friend to Jonah and Miles. It has be so wonderful to be a part of their lives and I give thanks for that each day.
It always amazes me on how when you are feeling lonely or sad a hug or a smile from a young child can make all the difference in the world.
Miles hugs are always so special cause he loves to cuddle in and squeeze ya real tight then that big kiss. Unconditional love of a child who can ask for anything more.
I do miss not being a mom but all the children around me who love me unconditionally is all I really need. Thanks for allowing Miles to be a part of that for me.
Hey Tracy, I was at my Mom's over the weekend and I saw your family picture. Beautiful! You guys look great.
