Anticipation of another year

[tazkitty]

My son will be having his first birthday next Sunday. I feel this is not just a celebration for him but for me.  Having always wanting to be a parent I didn't realize how hard and difficult it would be.  The not knowing, the guessing, the trial and error and waiting were sometimes torture.  Being an anxious person who doesn't deal well with the unknown or not having control I was tested every day.  I  made it and have to say I have a wonderful son who is well attatched and is a happy boy most of the day.  It was hard work for both of us growing and learning about each other.  I am starting to know what he wants and can make the tears go away within seconds.  What a journey, I am looking forward to and anticipating another year of wonderful moments, memories and growing.
