Description:
Growing Up (Kim Broedelet)
I decided to take up this months competition as a challenge to myself, as I so stink at journaling on any of my pages-lol.
It's not something I find easy to do.
My son is my *heart* and I wanted to show him just how much
I appreciate and love the 'man' he has grown up to be.
Journaling says-
Ten things I heart(love) about the *man* you have grown up to be...
* Your respect and politeness to all of your peers, no matter what their age.
* Your love for your family and home both of
which know no boundries.
* Your willingness to help others less
fortunate than yourself.
* That you still share your life and time with me, even sometimes at your friends expense.
* The confidence you show in everything you try or attempt.
* For your humour that fills my heart and mouth with laughter.
* For being a rock when things get tough and for never complaining about it.
* The thoughtfulness you show by leaving little gifts on my desk when I least expect them.
* Your compassion that is way beyond your years.
* For making me PROUD to say I'm your mother.
