His face was serious, but there was a little smirk as if he was trying to hide his excitement ... No matter what his age, a mother knows these faces on her son :)
Ripping the paper so quickly it's a blur ...
A quick peak, but can't see the shoes through the tissue paper ...
Pure excitement that mom got the right shoes ...
Happy because they are the right size 14 shoes ...
This is my 18 year old son that started college yesterday (thankful to his Grandma for helping with this). He is 17 years older than our baby ... He is 5 1/2 years older than my middle son ... As the oldest child of a single mother and a boy that never got over his Grandfather's death, he has had a lot of pressure on those feet over the years and some teen issues, too ... Yet, he woke up earlier than usual and ready to go to class; he felt liberated, excited and proud.
HE FELT FREE ...
I feel so proud and grateful that he is coming around to his old self.
I can only pray that his little brothers can live up to those size 14 shoes :)
In Motherly Love,
Mother Baby Child
