Today was such an emotion-filled day. I mean, I had just gotten back to work after 3 days of training for work. I was getting my mind geared up for being back to the office when my schedule changed so I had to get my son's hair cut off for the first time since his birth. Now, I knew that I would cry but I did not expect water works. I cried talking to my boss about getting ready to go get his hair cut, I cried while his hair was getting buzzed off, and I cried when it was almost over. Why the tears you ask? It's just hair you say. Well here's why...
Our life is changing. Our life is moving forward in a direction that I am unsure of but am ready for. His hair symbolizes so much. It means promise and commitment. It means life. At least for us...me. Cutting his hair meant that he was growing up. He is moving from being my little baby boy to my little boy. His hair meant that. It also meant in the grander scheme of things that our life was changing from the promises of the past to the uncharted waters of tomorrow.
I know, it sounds waaaay too deep for a 3.75 year old boy but for this 30 year old mama, it is deep. It just means our life is really changing. I just was in denial. But it was time to step into reality. Funny how a little trip to the barber can speak volumes.
Blessings to you,
Aurellia
