Talon.

My baby Talon has been my life since the day he was born. There have been bumps in our road together, and I've sometimes steered in the wrong direction, but he always brings me right back. I'd do anything to protect my angel... He is apart of me, he has helped to mold me into the person I am today. He has made me stronger, than I ever thought I could possibly be and, for that I feel I owe him the world.

The question of what is REALLY right for my angel, often comes up. It did this weekend, and it hurt! He is happier than he has been in months, he smiles more, he plays more, he loves more. He is in a good place with Peej and I. I've honestly never seen him happier, and that is why it hurts so much. Suddenly something, or "someone" I guess I should say, comes up out of nowhere, just when things couldn't get better, of course another challenge arises. But WHY now? We haven't heard from "someone" in months, and I was beginning to think, Talon might not have to go through the pain of being hurt by that "someone" again. As a Mother, of course I would do anything to protect my angel. But in this case, there isn't much I can do for now. I can sit back and watch, cry, pray, and hope for the best. The best for my angel. I will do whatever I have to do to make sure of his happiness. Be it either way... His happiness means I am not allowed to be selfish, and that I will not be. I will be strong for him and do whatever I can to make things right for him. Because I am thankful for him, because I need him, and because I will always need him.

I just thought I'd write him a lil somethin to show how thankful I truly am... It's been on my mind a lot lately.
