| this picture says so much about Tau's personality lmao |
i may have always had a love affair with fashion and with color but my true love overshadows all those things. yes, there are things, rather people, that i love more. my eldest son, Tau is one of these people. he turned 14 today and, besides feeling overwhelmed by the idea of having a full-fledged teenager, i am so proud to be his mommy.
Tau was born at a time when his dad and i were still finding out who we were; it was all around trial and error. i read all the books you were supposed to in order to prepare for parenthood but any parent can tell you that all your questions never make it in the book. so much about parenting is intuition and boundaries. you have to know where you stand when it comes to any issue and then be willing to throw that out the window and revise it in a heartbeat. though it is my most challenging role, it is also the most fulfilling. being mom to Tau has taught me things that only he could teach me. shoot... i am still learning as we speak! my biggest claim to fame was that, despite all of the mistakes that we have made, Tau is still alive and growing lol. he is growing right before my eyes. the scary part is that a lot of who he will be has already been formulated; the ground work has been already laid. we have to hope that we have given him all the tools he will need to become the man he will be. ... jeez, no pressure... i know that we can dwell on all the things that we should have done differently, but there is a lot that we have done right. Tau is a bright, funny, intelligent young man who is just stretching his wings. now we have to be strong enough to let him fly.
happy earthday, Tau!!
