Today I said goodbye to my son. Only for 5 days but it seems much longer. I drove him and my mother to the airport this morning and Mason looked so cute pulling his little suitcase behind him. He wanted to be like Grandma and I tried not to think about how it would feel when I had to to leave him at the security gate.
He ended up taking my hand and he gave me a kissing hand, it's from one of his favorite books. It is about a mother and son raccoon walking to take the son to school. The raccoon mother tells her son about the kissing hand. Where you place a kiss on the palm of your hand and whenever your lonely of sad you can press your palm to your cheek and say (as Mason put it) Mason loves you, Mason loves you. I started crying at that point.
As my mother told me when I was pregnant, that the love of a child is a love like you have never known, I realize that it is true. I miss him. I him so much right now.
