My little boy………..

I am beside myself with delight this morning.

Here is the story:

Earlier in the week my son told me I needed to come to the "town

breakfast" saturday morning. He is a junior firefighter and was

getting some kind of award. I rolllllllllllllled my eyes, but of course I

went.

He is my baby boy after all.

So I show up at the American Legion and there are at LEAST fifty

cop cars in the parking lot. I could NOT for the life of me figure out

what is going on. I get inside and the place is FULL of cops of all

kind and firefighters.

I find out it is the annual law enforcement breakfast. After listening

to the letters read from the governor and senator, everyone gets

up to get breakfast. At this point I call my son over and tell

him I am going to go sit in the car and he should call me when the

rest of the stuff is going to happen. I was a LITTLE uncomfortable

because there were very few women in the place, and there I stood

in the back of the room dressed in a RED sweater- everyone in the

place was dressed in black or blue. There I sit in my car yapping

with my sister, telling her about the five million cop cars and cops

around. I hear my  phone beep meaning a text message has come

in. I hang up with my sister and the message is from my son

saying the awards ceremony has started. I walk back in the room

and in less than 30 seconds the head american legion guy says "and

the aware for junior firefighter of the year is………………"

You got it, my "little" boy got it.

He walked back to me and showed me his award certificate and his

trophy.

I didn’t cry…………..but damn it was hard.

Thats my boy:O)

I am so proud.
