A while back I found the quote that became a theme of this carnival, popping up all over…
Don't cry because its over, Smile because it happened!
Dr. Seuss
This is one of those weeks that I have to keep that in the front of my mind.
While it is fun to have a Senior, be a Senior…& you are sure glad they made it this far & are growing up and becoming adults…
Don't cry because its over, Smile because it happened!
Dr. Seuss
It is hard some days.
Because Last Games come.
Last times are hard to think about.
Reminds me of that book “Let Me Hold You Longer” that Karen Kingsbury wrote & read to us at the E-Women conference…
I am crying just thinking about it…
Watch this if you can handle it…
Dear James,
If tonight is the last night you put on pads & jersey #81 for the AC Jets, I just wanted you to know that I have loved watching every moment of the season. I am so blessed to call you my son. And I am so proud of you. And yes, I am crying… but that’s what mom’s do. I love you son. I pray that you will be safe tonight & not break anything! And that you will have so much fun & make lots of catches!
Love,
Mom.

Aww, so sweet. I'll be thinking of you tonight. I know how hard it is.
I am so sad just thinking about having a senior some day and you are experiencing it. Enjoy every minute of the game tonight and enjoy James' last year of HS. Then you can enjoy the wonderful man you have trained him to be.
You are an awesome Mom Pam!
Yes, this will maybe be his last game - it is ok to cry! But just remember that there are going to be many many 'new' firsts... and more 'lasts'.... to come. Just take each day and enjoy each and every moment to come with him! I will be thinking about you tonight- keep my updated on the game-
This is such a sweet post! I love that book and think how as Caleb grows more and more of those "lasts" happen for us together.
What a bittersweet moment. I can only imagine how hard it will be to witness those last moments...but how proud you must be! Way to go! Good luck in his game tonight! It will be such an awesome, memorable one!
that is so sweet...mine are only 9 & 8 but I am dreading that last home game! Last night was our Sr.Nite at WCHS, where hubby coaches...last home game for seniors...so sad! And it didn't help matters that is was not a win! Love your post...
I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE CRYING TOO....!!!!!!!!!!!
lol, I just finished my post and got myself together then came over here and read yours. I could only half watch the video cause I am too emotional as it is right now.
Too funny.
God knows we have the same feeling in our hearts right now but it's me with my youngest and you with your oldes.

You are an awesome mom, being there for all of your kids.
I don't even want to imagine those moments yet. I'm enjoying my pre-school days right now! Congrats on the game!! Sooo happy for you and your son, and his team! :-D
I've had that panic feeling lately and Nick is just a Junior. Just yesterday I asked him to stay with me forever. I'm so not ready. I can't believe how hard this made me cry.
