My Clayton

My Clayton, my oldest forever baby, graduated this year.  Clayton has no idea how wanted and needed he was by me.  His dad and I tried for many years to have a baby, I had pretty much given up when one Thanksgiving back in 2000 everything smelled awful/rancid.  Later that week, I felt car sick when driving back from the movies.  A couple of pregnancy tests later, I knew I was pregnant with my little miracle.

9 months later when he arrived into the world, my life had been altered in a very drastic way.  My step dad, Jody and my mom had passed away within 2 months from each other and I felt lost and alone in a way I'd never felt before.  Then this wonderful, beautiful, magical, sweet little 9 pound, 6ounce baby came into my life.  Perhaps at the darkest part of my life at the time, I had the greatest joy.  

Fast forward several, several years and you have this wonderful young man, finding himself in this vast world with so much to learn and already knowing so much.  I love you my darling one.  Always, always, always.. I love you.
