my BaBy

dear timestamp diary,

this picture was taken in 2006, right after i made my big stupid mistake. i saw it and it took me by surprise- the time has gone away. my son no longer sucks his thumb- he's gunna kill me when he sees that- but seeing my son at this tender age reminds me of what i was doing then. i made promises to this young man- that things were going to change. that he was going to live a life where we would never rearrange again. i told him i had found someone that he could be so proud- i told him that he would teach him things and love him in a crowd. then this guy scooped him up and told him the very same things- told him there would be so much without any strings. he let him wear his helmet and slide down the pole- and sit on all the trucks- he was an awesome guy to know. this little dude was sensitive- he had more feelings than other guys his age- but the new guy his mommy knew explained how he was still on the right page. so now that young man has grown up into big young man- and no longer sucks his thumb- his mom no longer knows someone and is no longer dumb.
