I’ve wanted to freeze time at every stage of this kid’s life.

When he came home from the hospital as a tiny newborn, I thought life was truly the best.

Then he started smiling, and laughing, (and sleeping through the night!) and I remember thinking, “Nope. THIS is the best age!”

And then he kept growing.

That chubby toddler with squishy cheeks.
The kindergartner so eager to learn how to spell “waterfall.”
The athletic preteen having fun on the field.
The older brother doting over his newborn siblings.
The happy teenager with fun friends and a sarcastic personality.
That sweet boy who never made much of a fuss.

I watched him grow for 18 years, and every stage became my new favorite.

Last night I watched him graduate from high school and I was flooded with memories and emotions. I kept thinking, “Is this really happening? Are we already at THIS stage?”

It’s gone by so fast.

I thought again, for the millionth time, “I just want to freeze time right here, on this very day. And I want to keep him with me forever and ever, and capture his smiles, enjoy his hugs, and preserve him just like he is at this very moment.”

The good thing about having the same unanswered wish for 18 years is that I know by now how it all works - tomorrow will come and yesterday’s moments will become the best of memories.

And then we’ll move on to the next stage of life.
A stage I’ve never experienced.
The stage I naturally dread because SURELY it can’t get any better than it is right now.

But each stage is so good.

We learn, we grow, and we have so much fun.

So far each stage has become my new favorite so maybe, JUST MAYBE, the best is yet to come! 🖤

I’m so proud of you @ethan.dulgarian and I can’t wait to see what happens next! Love you! 🖤
