Johnie

"Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our life."
Only yesterday you held that baby, all 5 lbs and 11 ounces.
You looked into blue eyes and wondered where the world would carry him.
He grew in stature, became a man through the process of time and love and care and hugs and jokes and kisses and many many prayers- some discipline, some having to say "I'm sorry" to him because you blew it as his Mother.
Then one day he is up early, fixing his coffee- now 5 foot and 11 inches and you tell him to "have a good day at work and be careful."
Your last child, the baby- the college years are over and the third child off to work, off to 40+ hours a week, off to another new beginning.
Enjoy Johnie. Don't just work, enjoy!
