My beauty. My only baby. My magic. My mini smurf with giant hands and feet (that means he'll grow into them one day right??) And a giant heart large enough to hold the universe (or multi-verse as he would tell you.) NOT fearless by any means. But so BRAVE. Brave enough to conquer any fears. Fiercely loyal and protective of those he loves. He protects his friends as if he's a big brother. NO ONE is allowed to mess with them. I've watched so often when he had no idea I was watching, coming to a friend's rescue. Whether it be a bookbag that's too heavy, scary bugs, bullies, or going and getting a bike and taking it home to them after they fell and got hurt. I've even seen him come to a stranger's defense π when their parent took their drink from them, or when a small one needed a hand to cross something at the playground safely. The one who quickly breaks out into being silly or cracking jokes at the first sign of stress or tension coming from the people around him.
This year he turned a whole decade old and today he left me for his first day at the big kid school. He only knows two people in his class. And soon I start a brand new job where our schedules will be totally different than they've always been. And I need time to just FREEZE for a little while because this life is changing and flying by too fast.
Little Boy Blue... I hope everyone always sees the magic in you the way you deserve.
