He Came Home With Blond Hair
My daughter came up to me and show his picture - sure enough he's blond, more reddish/pinkish blond. I had to double glance and there -staring right back at me is my oldest son. She ask, "Do you like it? What do you think?" and I replied, "Oh my goodniiiiiieee eeeee.." and she laughed excitedly and continued, "He came home and yep he was blond. You should see it. He'll be back."
We left to go somewhere and when we returned, there he is, "Mom, do you like it?" and I said, "wow, looks different. You look Korean, Japanese, and really bring out your tan." We laughed and he went on to explain the process of how he got it done. He said, "Mom, a few days from now it'll be a little more blond." I listened.
He continues, "Mom, I'm going on vacation with my friends." and from there he proceeded to tell me about his Mexico trip and his blond hair was forgotten.
Last night he (my blond son) asked me to take him to his friend's house since they're leaving early to catch their flight in the morning. We talked and I asked him, "Was I a good mom/were we good parents to you?" He said, "Mom, you and dad did a great job raising us. It's amazing how the little things we learn when we were little shape us to who we are today. For example, I worked hard not because I want to be rich, make money but I want to do something with my life, accomplish something." and we talk more about life, family, etc.. I pray with him for a safe trip and left.
Driving back, I think of all my children- how each is progressing in their life and smile.
