Dear Jude,


I swear it was just yesterday that we were teaching you to walk, or listening to you say UH-OH for the first time. Where did the time go? It sped by so fast, and now that I realize how fast it goes, I would like to put the breaks on time. I don't want you to grow up and leave me. I want to keep you by my side where I can keep you safe and so that I know what you are doing every minute.

You are such a sweet and loving child. You have such a great heart. Please pass this on so the others can see how wonderful you are. I don't want this part of you to become tainted by the world.

Watching you get on that bus this morning pulled hard on my heart strings. I can't believe that you were riding away to school without me. And this is only the beginning of letting you go. I don't want to let go.

I love you.

Mommy.

Because you are such loving parents, Jude will always keep his loving heart and I just bet he will show others how to be soooo loving! God knows we need more people like him in the world! I hope it was a great day for him! As a teacher I hope he just enjoyed his day! Sending lots of hugs.....

Oh, it's the beginning of a new part of Jude's life! Yes, you can't protect them anymore, but they learn some really cool stuff!
