(Taken from my phone…)
He is the light of my life. Every day that I wake up, I know that regardless of the mistakes that I have made in the past, I can never regret anything, because I have him. Going back to school this time around has enlightened me. I have learned that the most important way to gain knowledge is through experience. For me, getting married taught me to be more independant. Being a mother taught me to be more responsible. Going back to college the second time, taught me to appreciate the value of an education. As an English major, I learned that literature is not just for enjoyment, but can truly change your life. Walt Whitman’s, Song of Myself, is the poem that I keep going back to whenever I need some inspiration. I love that something so simple, like a blade of grass, connects us all. Regardless of who we are, how much money we make or what we do, we are all equally important in this world. We learn from not just our mistakes, but by the mistakes of others.
I take full responsibility for my son; My husband takes none. He grew up in a household where his mother did everything, so he expects that from me. I laughed when he said he wanted more kids. I told him to find another wife. I love being a mother, but Dylan is enough for me.
My light is my son.
It’s a really beautiful sentiment; I love that poem too. Cute picture.
Your son is beautiful and I think you have a good outlook on life
