On Sunday, it flooded here from all the rain we got as a result of hurricane Ike. I live between two creeks and the water was so much that it over flowed and flooded. There is a bread store across the street from where we live and the store was basically underwater. You cold see maybe three or four inches of the top of the store. It made me think of my son, and everything that I have and how fast it could be taken away from us. Just like that.

Its insane how fast a newborn grows. Its like yesterday I was giving birth to him and today he's four and a half months old. He's getting so big so fast. It reminds me of that song "You're gonna miss this" by Tracy Lawrence. Life goes by so incredibly fast, in the blink of an eye, is how I put it. He is learning so fast and growing so fast. Next thing I know he'll be crawling, then walking, then talking. I'm definately going to miss these days, because pretty soon he'll be in school, then a teenager and then an adult and he wont need me anymore. It saddens me how I think about my relatonship with my mom and how I dont want things to be with my son and I. I want him to be able to depend on me, ya know. 

In the blink of an eye, it could all be gone. Everything. We should cherish everything we have and not take it for granted.God gives, God can take too.
