My Baby Boy

He changed my life forever when he entered the world.

You never know what type of mother you’ll really be until the time comes.

This little one taught me unconditional LOVE and

helped make me a stronger woman than I ever thought I could be.

I often wondered what he would become.

Well this month he’ll celebrate his 22nd Birthday.

He’s a Marine now and I’m so very proud of him.

I miss watching him grow as a little boy but

to see him find his way as a man is quite a Blessing.

This week I made one of his favorite treats…Peanut Brittle.

It’s in the mail now.  Fingers are crossed.  I hope he likes it.

This post was inspired by Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop.

The prompt I chose this week was:  Write a post in just 12 lines.

    May he always be safe! He is around my kids’ ages so this touched my heart in a special way.

    I love peanut brittle and baby boys! Mine turned 25 this year and the thought is staggering. Thank you to your brave son for his service to our country. I know he’ll be thrilled to get his Momma’s care package.

      So true Amy. I’ve made lots of goodies but this is the first time I’ve made Peanut Brittle. He’s going to be pretty surprised when he discovers it’s homemade.
