My Children

seems like yesterday my son Elijah was being born, but actually he will turn 1 on Feb 16th, he is walking and talking and doing all the playful things a 1 year old does...But where does the time go? I swear it seems like yesterday he was in my womb, and heavens now he is so dependent, I have 5 boys, my oldest is going to be 18 in April it to is hard to conceive that he is fixing to turn the corner and become an adult. It is just really an awesome thing...
The love I have my my boys is something I have never known until I held them in my arms and looked down into their faces and felt the instant bond, but I have never experienced letting go, a huge part of me wants to keep my children here at home forever to protect them from the big nasty world out side...
To shelter them from heart ache and pain, I never want them to experience the trauma of the way life can be cruel... I just want to hold them and never let them go but that is not feasible,time will come when their wings will be strong and they will fly out of the nest and into a world with allot of detours, but I am sure I have taught my children well and they can conquer their dreams and leave a mark for the world to see...
