I kissed my boy good-bye this morning and sent him off to camp for two weeks. Then I drove home with tears in my eyes because, really, he is literally the life force in our family. Oliver is difficult in a myriad of ways, but his difficulties are fantastic, really. I honestly don't know who I'd be without these kids of mine -- each of them in their own unique way -- but I'm certain I wouldn't be better.

  1. Oliver is a force of nature. I hope he has a blast at camp, much as you will miss him.

  2. You nailed it- I wouldn't be better without my kids either. No way, no how.
    Quite frankly, I wouldn't be here at all without them. They have saved me over and over again and continue to do so. In a very literal way.
    I know you're going to miss that beautiful boy but he will come home and all will be well and he will have such a good time at camp.

    beautiful boy! JL

    We are indeed better for having them in our lives.
    What fun he will have and so many stories to tell when he gets home.

  4. I cannot imagine who I would be, without our three boys. And that includes the first one, who was stillborn at term. I am eternally grateful and better, for having each of them.
