Moments
Well, Jonathon and Travis are moving to Texas. I always knew this day would come.
Why is it that life seems to go by so fast, but the minute something ends everthing somehow turns into simple moments.
The moment that Jennifer dropped Jonathon off at my moms house for the first time all of a sudden is so clear in my mind. The moment she shut the door and I realized that this beautiful little baby needed me. Whatever he needed or wanted he needed me to be able to give him. I remember so clearly that less than 5 minutes after she left I needed to use the bathroom, so go right? Nope, not so easy! Everytime I put him down he cried, he cried to the point that I started to cry because I didnt know what to do. Finally I took him with me, yes into the bathroom, and it was at that moment that I started to think that maybe I could give him everything he needed.
I remember the first time I held him in my arms,
the first time I gave him a bath in the kitchen sink,
the first time he smiled at me, (that smile that still lights up my world)
I remember the first time he got hurt in my care. We were alone and he had just started walking. Well he walked himself right off the bed, I ofcource was in the bathroom, I remember bieng so upset because I should of known not to leave him there. I ran him in the kitchen and we didnt have any ice so I remember just standing there with his head literally in the freezer because I knew that it needed something cold.
I remember the moment he hit the terrible two's, I went grocery shopping and was putting the food away when I saw that he had opened a carton of eggs and started throwing them on the floor one by one. Every time I said stop he looked right at me and threw another one. I guess it is kinda funny now.
I remember the day I got the phone call about him and my sister bieng in a car accident, I was devistated (still am) because they were comming to pick me up for work. My mom didnt tell me anything on the phone besides that I needed to get to the hospital. I remember crieng the whole way there because I had no idea how bad it was. I remember walking into the hospital and everthing bieng a blur, I couldnt find anybody I knew. Then from around the corner comes little jonathon in his blue jean overalls with his bottle in his hands to give me a hug. The moment I held him in my arms that day I knew that things could be ok.
I remember potty prizes and elmopalloza
I remember the way when he wanted you to repeat something he would grab my cheeks and pull my face toward him and say "what you said LD?"
I remember the way he called me LD instead of elly (which is what my mom calls me)
I remember taking him to his first day of school in a little yellow button up shirt, he looked so grown up walking in front of us with is backpack around his shoulders
I remember seaworld and the Detroit Zoo
seeing Wicked, Rent, and the Rockettes together
I remember the cuddleing
I remember the kisses
and I am going to miss it all!
I love that little guy and his whole family. I am going to miss them very much.
