i love you so bad...

do u ever look at your child (those of you with children) and just want to break down in tears because you are so happy that they are YOURS? is this a normal feeling? my son is 9, and just about the most amazing boy you will ever meet. i was watching him at his baseball game (he was pitching) and i had a lump the size of an orange in my throat!! i wanted to scream out "THATS MY BABY BOY"! but i refrained!! he would have not been pleased with me at all. i am not sure if it has anything to do with him being my only child or not?! all i know is that at night when i go check on him before i go to bed, my heart almost breaks with how big he is getting....but i look at his hands, he still has little boy hands. he still snuggles on the couch with me at night, he still wants to go places with me!! i am proud of the young man he is growing up to be, but can we just pause....for a little while.
