Haven't posted in a while and don't really know why but I have words in my head and I don't know how to put them down. But today I had a good conversation with my son...it was short but I felt proud to be his mom.
We were talking about different things and he said he had to call "his baby before he went to sleep". I said "your baby?" and he said "yea". He then was telling me how important she was to him. How that she makes him want to be a better person. That she makes him happy. She makes him laugh. And most important to me that she respects him for who he is. I said "Have ya'll said the L word?" and he said "yes" but only just a few days ago because they wanted to be sure. He said that he said it first and she waited a few days to say it back because she has never been in this kind of relationship and wanted to be sure of what she was feeling.
As a mom that makes me feel good about the way she was brought up..... to know that saying that is not just something you say because the other person said it.
He said that he definitely could see himself spending the rest of his life with her. She makes him that happy! I must say that the few times I have been around this girl.....she truly is what he says. She loves the Lord, first. She wants to finish school. She is a wonderful young lady and I am proud that my son is dating her.
In a day and age where the word Love is thrown around like water.......I applaud young men and women who don't feel they have to say it "just because".
I love you Darren!
