Tuesday

Tuesday. There’s nothing special about the day.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…not one to stand out, it blends in with the rest.
Tuesday, Oh Wait …
A baby’s first breath.
A toothless grin,
Isn’t he adorable?
Scuffed up knees as he crawls along the floor,
Spit out peas on my shirt.
The sweet smell of love and tenderness as he curls against my chest.
His first step, hesitant, faltering, I’m not ready for him to let go.
His first birthday, he loves the paper and not the toys.
Too much ice cream and cake but it’s only once a year.
The toothless grin is now replaces with pearly whites.
Years fly by. My, he’s grown. Preschool, middle school, trips to the mall with his friends.
Girls, driving, he’s too young to date. He’s not married yet.
Graduation brings him home but he’s not alone.
A ring, is it true? They make a cute couple.
A tux, a white dress, vows, cake,
I’m so tired.
He looks so much like his father.
A tear, a kiss, the baby smell is gone.
Can I still say he’s adorable?
The smell of love and tenderness lingers as he hugs me good-bye.
Home alone, his baby book, memories.
A lock of hair, look how small his feet were.
Life goes on…
A phone call…what?
Oh my, tears again.
Really? I’ll be right there.
Hours pass. A new arrival.
A baby’s first breath.
A toothless grin,
Isn’t she adorable?
Tuesday, what’s so special about this day?
My whole life changed on Tuesday.
