A Future So Bright... Preschool Graduation

Where has the time gone?

I remember as I smiled at my newborn babe, he gazed at my face and looked back at me.

Bryant's bright smile lit up my day... he was my life.

As I nursed him at night I would tell him all about my wishes, hopes and dreams for him.

I told him how I prayed for him and dreamed of him long before he was born.

I so loved his beautiful face, his sweet baby scent, and his tiny fingers that softly touched my cheek.

He filled my days with happiness beyond my wildest imagination.

I couldn't wait until he awoke. And then when he went to sleep... I would cuddle him and watch him sleep peacefully, like an angel.

Then before I knew it, it was time for preschool.

Without even looking back, Bryant was off into the big, new world.

People told me that time would fly and to enjoy "these days."

How true those words were.

It seems like just yesterday he was just toddling up the steps to preschool, waving to me, and dashing in to be with his new friends and teachers.

Over the years I've watched Bryant grow up and learn new things... He's become independent and ever so confident.

He has such a kind, caring heart.

He loves people and animals.

He even loves all the "old ladies" I help at work.

When I look at Bryant,

I see everything that is so good and right in this world we live in.

So tonight it shouldn't be any surprise that I was an emotional wreck as I watched my preschooler walk across the stage to receive his preschool diploma!

My little boy is growing up!
