 . . . . Thoughts at your wedding, son I smile at the young man you have become and watch you standing there proudly beside your bride holding hands as you once held mine How quickly you matured replacing toys with cars and girls casting aside childhood like worn out clothes I wonder when the years past - how you grew from infant to man now creating your own family - leaving crinkled memories on yellowed construction paper boxed in the attic . . . . . . . What can I say, my baby wed his bride on 12-29-07 and I'm feeling a bit nostalgic  I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (01-05-2008 10:40 AM).] |

What a wonderful poem. I wish your son the best and thank you for sharing a piece of this special day with us - and for sharing your heart. Alison |

This winter I will have two who are 20. Neither are amrried yet. I am amazed at how fast they grow. I chuckled about the treasures we mothers keep. I have a bunch. |

Oh Ruth, wish I could see the picture - guess they won't let you share from Kodak. Try loading it to Photobucket.com Congratulations - it is been a long road m'friend to the alter.  Before I forget, Happy Birthday! |

Dear Ruth, this is so poignant! Every mother's heart has mixed feelings on that day I guess, joy and a sort of creeping melancholy. Your son and his wife are beautiful, they shine their love intensely! And Happy Birthday to you too! Thank you for sharing your touching words. Love, Margherita clicking here you can view the pic: http://images.kodakgallery.com/photos4358/3/61/46/67/13/0/13674661314_0_ALB.jpg |

Mysteria, Thanks for letting me know you couldn't view the image...it came up on my computer. I took your advice and went to photobucket and posted a different picture there. Also the link in the comment below yours will take you to the first picture I posted so you get two for the price of one Thank you all for your comments, it was a beautiful wedding Ruth I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |
