Son #5 @ 5 days. 
.......@ 5 years 
......@ 25 years.When son # 5 (our baby!) was about 6, he & I were having a good night cuddle. As he hugged me tight he told me "I love you Mummy & when I get married I'll build you a little house behind mine & you can live with me & I'll always look after you." It was one of those moments that Mother's tuck away in their hearts & hold onto forever!! Well, my gorgeous boy, here's a picture of my perfect 'house behind yours'!
As has been well documented here at The Hedge, we are very proud of our Bub & tomorrow he turns 26. The day of his birth proved to be very traumatic, as I had a very unexpected surgical emergency & needed to be resuscitated & transferred to ICU. I didn't get to hold him for a few days, but despite this we bonded perfectly & are very close. His beautiful quiet soul & generous, caring spirit endear him to everyone who meets him, so Happy Birthday lovely boy & enjoy your special day.
Oh so sweet! Of course your not asking for much? Just a small cottage!! Thats the one thing about sons they always want to take care of their mum's, lucky you!

This really touched me, Millie.
ReplyDeleteSons are so special. I know that mine will be 26 before I know it. I'm trying to enjoy every minute.
Happy Birthday (because you know we mothers share in that day!).

Happy birthday to your son - and tell him when he builds that house behind his to live in - his mum's crazy bloggy friend is moving in as well, I can just see us on the chairs out the front, bubbles, bubbles, siesta, read mag, cheese and pate, bubbles.....you get my drift x
ReplyDeletemillie - I think I will keep that image to show my girls in a few years, see if they are interested in having a border down the track!
ReplyDeleteWell I am back blogging, and your recent blogs have already provided lots of giggles! Thanks Millie!
It's my birthday tomorrow and I had a traumatic birth too! My poor Mum had an emergency C section with no anaesthetic and was put into a state of amnesia and woke up thinking someone stole her baby!! April 18 must be a bad day for deliveries!
ReplyDeleteI've linked to your blog on my latest post which is all about fabulous fellow Adelaidian blogs. I hope you don't mind. Just let me know if you want it taken down.
Keep up the great blogging. Tara x

ReplyDeleteMillie - I want to say congratulations and happy day to you tomorrow. A beautiful son (one of many) and 26, that is a huge achievement and a very busy road you have travelled to get there. Bravo to you and happy birthday to the boy. xv.
ReplyDelete* Oh, how you have been BLESSED! Happy "day of remembrance" to YOU... look what you GOT out of it!!! Yes, you're verrrry lucky indeed!!! (And he's SUCH a cutie, too!)~~~ Warmly, Linda in AZ *
ReplyDeleteSuch a handsome boy, and all through his life he was as cute as could be. My youngest wanted to marry me and take care of me. He hates when I bring that up now.
ReplyDeleteAwwww...spoken like a proud mama!
ReplyDeleteIt is special. Heartwarming. Moments only a mother understands.
