It Is Almost Time

Posted on October 2, 2012 by bigsmileu1

It is almost time for the big day.

There are last-minute errands and phone calls to make.

Nerves are strung tight and frayed.

Excitement is building.

By this time next week, it will all be a memory.

I want to cry every time I think about him.

I remember cuddling, story books, and dinnertime.

Now, he is all grown up and independent.

Soon he will have a family of his own.

Time flew by too fast and forgot to stop.

I will try not to cry during the ceremony.

I will smile and greet the guests with pride.

Saturday will be a grand day.

The occasion where my sons says, “I do” with his bride.

    I went through that with my two sons. It is a real mixed-bag of feelings. The sadness comes from the overwhelming sense of time-passing, I think. No matter how old my guys are, I still “see” little boys. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

    What a special day for you…It is a new beginning for your son. You have raised him to be the man that he is and have helped shape his life. Be proud of that fact….Diane

    You don’t lose a son, you will gain a daughter. They will come back home to you with all their kids, you will have a messy house and you will cook for more people. It’s the beautiful cycle of life. Congratulations.
