There's quite a lot going on in our lives right now...and this week is a biggie. I'm trying to put into words what it's like knowing Mario will be graduating from high school in less than a week...it's very surreal. I can remember finding out I was going to be a mom for the first time, and how happy and terrified I was. I've been thinking a lot about his childhood, and wishing time could go back to him being 5 years old, just for one day. I know I'm not the first parent to wish this, but it's such a strong yearning, to just see his face as a little boy again. It's such an interesting age, 18. He's a cross between a man and a kid, still hovering between the two. I am so proud of him, I can't wait to watch him get his diploma. He is creative, imaginative, funny, handsome and so kind. He convinces me more and more each day that he will be a force in the music world, in some way. He's an amazing talent, with a pure joy and love for music. I can't wait to see where life takes him. But maybe for one more short week....I can still think of him as my little boy?
