Look at me, mom. Look beyond my misbehavior. Look beyond my unruliness. Look beyond my rude words. Look at my heart. I'm still the little boy you nursed for 15 months. I'm still the one who climbs into bed with you to snuggle in the wee hours of the morning. I'm still the one who sneaks into sister's room to tell her "it's okay, don't cry." I'm still the one who makes you laugh. I don't want you to see the bad, just see the good. I want to do the right thing, but sometimes my body doesn't let me. Something's not right. Can you help me? Can you see my heart? Don't give up on me yet. Look.
Wonderful post. And reminder. Somedays it's hard to remember all the good beyond that things that frustrate us. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteSweet post.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture. And "look beyond my misbehavior".
ReplyDeleteThis post is very touching, Sarah. It brought tears to my eyes. Jax is a great kid, and he has a pure, loving heart. He has people who love him unconditionally and will do anything to help him, teach him, and guide him. He has loving parents and a Mom who will never give up on him. Just as you are blessed to have him, he is blessed to have you! XOXO
