Jake and I have been together all but about 10 hours since school finished. We have argued and we've hugged. He's gotten out of trouble more than once with 'but i just want some lovin' I left this morning and am in NYC for a few days. I miss that boy so much. that old adage...absence makes the heart grow fonder. I think it smothers my soul. It fills me with hope and joy and purpose.
Tonight he told me " you're spending the night in You York City and tomorrow I'm going to spend the night at college." wow. I think it will feel like that. it will feel like one day he just starts spending the night at college.
Every night I read him a story and sing him a song. I know that one day he'll get tired of that. he's already spending more time in his room not wanting us. I think the best gift a parent can give a child is for that child to know enough to not need the parent....to that I add, but please want to be around me!!!
I'm really proud of the kid he's becoming.
I'm in love!

I know just what you mean...just had Ian at UTMB in Galveston and now he's getting everything ready to be the next scott (OK technically he's a Mallett) at Ole Miss next Fall. Not sure what I'll do, Pres says I will have to move because he's not sure if "breastmilk will keep to be transported that far". Wonder what he feeds Sam? Poor Josh is just left out..really he's already planning the move to the room at the top of the stairs (Ian's current residence with it's OWN bathroom. We love you guys and can't wait to see you at Christmas. We'll try to have enough light to satisfy Jacob...see the blog about the christmas decorations. Love you true, Tara
