Tuesday's Treasures - Do They Have to Grow Up?
This is a note that my seven year old grandson left for his mother before she headed off to work. I remember the days when I was my son's best girl. Those days are few and do not last nearly long enough. Sooner or later they are swept off their feet by another and mom takes second place. Treasure it while it lasts!
That's a very cute note. I even think so, and I have no children. But cute is cute.
Aww, so adorable! We must treasure those moments indeed! This is such a timely message for me. My little 21 month old daughter is asleep on my back as I type this message ... my greatest treasure to date! :-)
Pat - very cute ..... not to worry about them being swept away for they often return with more little ones who will also think you are their best Girl (Grandma)
Do you KNOW how much his wife had to impress him as compared to you??? But you're right...time goes by so fast and the young ages are precious.
Jon--A son's love for his mother is endearing to all.
Joni--Well, I know my sons love me, but I am happy that they are all happily paired with nice people and have moved on---as much as I would enjoy keeping them forever!
Lisa--I can just picture that. There is nothing like the love between parents and children.
Karen--You can just feel the love exploding, can't you??
Kathy--I am amazed at the love my grandkids have for me---especially as busy as I am!
Tammy--You are so right, but I do remind my boys especially that I carried them in the womb for nine long months! :-) Worth every minute!
Hi Pat, I don't really think it's second place...its just a different place.
Howdy and morning to you Pat
Pat, parents sure do need to treasure every minute with their kids. Because they sure do grow up mighty fast.
Have a good one

Hi Pat,
So very cute, young sons are so very special, those were the fondest days in my life with my own son. Your photo reminded me of that.
Since then, I believe the old saying "Your daughter is your daughter the rest of her life, your son is your son till he takes a wife"...and thats exactly the way it should be!
Dale--You got that right!
Lynda--I really have found that to be true with my sons. I am fond of my daughter-in-law and girl friends/partners, but the relationship definitely changes!
Hi, Pat... you are so right. Both my girls were born premature, but thank goodness grew up healthy and well. They are now 20 and 15 respectively and it went by in the blink of an eye. You have to love each stage of their lives, while you can.
Eric--It is fun to watch our children become parents and experience what we did. You have that to look forward to. I am very proud of the parents my children have become!
Pat,
What a darling little note.
You are giving us the "hard truth" in your blog about mother-son relationships. Mine is 22 next month and I am still his girl even though he just starting dating. I know I will be the second girl in his life pretty soon. Sigh.
Pat, that is such a sweet note, it brought a few memories back of my girls when they were young. And I am looking forward to new memories with my grandsons.
Priceless stuff here Pat. I'll be that brought a tear of happiness to more than one person's eyes.
Pat, I bet you cried over this one - you're such a softy, LOL. What a wonderful little note to keep and remember.
Pat, I'm enjoying your posts so much! This is just adorable. I have just subscribed and now you are in my tribe! Talk to you soon,
Deb
