I think the hardest part of raising Colin alone are the milestones of life. You know that first birthday, first steps . . . those things are really emotional for me. I swear these days I cry so easily . . . Colin had his Kindergarten music program the last week of school, but it turned into a 'graduation' to 1st grade. They sang this song and I could just feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. It was yet another milestone that we had made alone . . . just the two of us. It was a challenging year (but rewarding too), and I know there still lies many challenges ahead for me, but I made it . . . we made it and for once I felt proud of myself. As I cried tears of joy and sadness, I did not care because if anyone knew what we have had to overcome the last 6 years . . . a little boy without his daddy they would be crying too. Oh he has been full of questions about Sean lately and it continues to break my heart.
I have had many photos that I have failed to post so here goes . . .
