The half way point

Tomorrow Michael turns 10.  Double digits. Nearly ready for Middle School.  As I planned out how his birthday would be celebrated, a strange awareness hit me. 

I adopted him at 2.  He has been home for 8 years.  If he leaves home at 18, I only have 8 more years.  This is the halfway point of having him with me.  A stark reminder of why I have to cherish every single moment, notice every nuance, and celebrate the amazing person he is.  I love that kid...
