MY Boy ...

Jax and I had a date with a bald Russian and his evil rival. We made the 1:10 matinee for Despicable Me. We got a large popcorn WITH butter, a large ICEE for him a cold diet Coke for me...and we happily decided on Junior Mints to share. We loved the show. But what I loved more, was laughing at the funny parts and looking over and seeing Jaxon already looking at me laughing. That smile of his will cover his whole face, it's a beautiful sight.

After the movie was over, we got up to leave and he reached for my hand and HE steered ME through the crowd of parents and kids...like I might get lost if he doesn't hang on to me.

I just tucked him into bed... I pulled the covers to his chin and he always puts his old stuffed dog Sully by his side... we said "nuh night" and our I love you's. When I was walking out the door, he asked me if I wanted to know what his favorite part of the day was, of course I did. And that little boy said "being at the movie with you and you laughing at the same things I was laughing at." With teared up eyes I said, "that's funny, because that was my favorite part of the day too!" And with that he smiled and closed his eyes to sleep.

Jax and I have been together for just a smitch over 10 years now...he's my best friend and I love hearing him remind me of that. Together, we've been happy, sad, confused and back to happy...not just happy but overly ecstatic with where are life together has landed us- right smack in what seems like a dream... with gumdrops and lollipops to boot.

Today was a day I won't forget. I'll lovingly remember all of it in my mind and feel it in my heart. I'm so lucky and blessed to have Jaxon... they broke the mold with him...he's one of a kind.
