I'm Going to Grow up fast Mamma...

August 2, 2011

Hudson,

You told me today, "I'm going to grow up fast Mamma." With that sentence, I wanted to cry. I know how true it is Hudson. I just want to freeze time. You are so precious, so sweet, so pure, so innocent. An that perfect, precious body of yours! Can't we just bronze it so I can always grab that sweet little teaso?

Hudson, nothing could be more true than this quote, "Youth is wasted on the young." Young people have no clue how amazing it is to be young until it is too late. Not until you are 25 and you think, "Oh, wow, I am closer to 30. Dam! I don't want to be 30. I want to be young forever." It's quite fascinating to me that young kids just want to get older and adults just want to be younger. What's up with that?

Please enjoy your youth Hudson. These are the days to hold onto. They will not last forever. You only get to be young once. These days are carefree. You do not have pressing responsibilities. Don't grow up too fast and always stay young at heart: this is the secret to life.

Heck, I will always be 22 at heart. I am 36, but I still feel 22.... such is life.

I love you handsome, Mamma
