Caleb's wheels
Sweet boy arrives tomorrow! For us, this summer visit is bittersweet. He is turning 17 in July and this is last summer in high school.
Did I just say that?
This is his last summer in high school.
Okay, I really did say it!
This boy, dare I say man, is amazing!
He is funny (with a dark humour), bright (more than just smarts, he has emotional intelligence) and so good looking (imagine dark curly hair and freckles, oh my!) Most mamas think their kids are the best, but I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to know him.
So, why is this visit bittersweet?
Well, every summer since he has lived with his Dad and Step-mama, he has come for long visits. Throughout the year, we see each other every three months as well. Over the past three years (of high school) his visits have gotten shorter in the summer. And understandably! The kid has a life: friends, trips to Schlitterbahn, and now a car and girlfriend.
And this is our last true summer visit. Next summer, he will have graduated high school, turned 18 and moved on to…well, what ever new horizon he chooses. I am just guessing that three weeks to visit his mama is not on the list!
So, over the next few weeks, you can just imagine me treasuring every second, every conversation, every snuggle (so grateful that he will still give me a snuggle!) and every long look at his handsome face!
My Sweet boy. Sniff.
