my boys and me
normally my blog is all about my art but once in a while i share some photos about my personal life. a couple of weekends ago my husband's nephew got married and both my boys were able to come to the wedding. josh (in the blue shirt) lives quite a distance away so i rarely get to see him. he is a correction's officer at the pike county jail. he does cell extraction and recently was bitten by an inmate. he served in iraq and has had a life of adventure for being 25 years old. he was my first born so he holds a special place in my heart. his laugh makes my heart melt. mike (in the yellow shirt) is my baby. he'd cringe if he heard me say that but it's why he holds a special place in my heart too. he makes me laugh and i love his sense of humor. he's quite the sarcastic fellow and i believe he gets that from me. he is so kind to his mom and i'm quite thankful for that. he's finding his way in the world and is currently in south carolina looking for a job and a place to live. he wants to move there and go to golfing school. that's a lot further than a mama would like but i want both the boys to be happy and do what they need to do. that's what life is all about. i love my boys so much that sometimes i forget to cut the apron strings. thank goodness they tolerate their old ma really well.

ReplyDeleteYour boys are such handsome devils! Doesn't matter what age they are, they're still our "babies"! Just thinking about my guys makes my mama's heart skip a beat or two. You've been doubly blessed, Roc! Thanks for letting us "meet" your guys! Hugs, Terri xoxo

ReplyDeleteoh i hear ya on the apron strings, roc.

Love your art and style! Found you from Cassandra!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic Roc, I have boys too, they hol a special place in your heart don't they, and no matter what age they always need their Mum!!
ReplyDeleteI'm SO glad you shared this part of your life. I have two sons also(ages 27 and 20), and I know exactly how they make your heart melt. Only another mother can understand the way you love your oldest best because he was your first born and your youngest best because he is your baby. Your boys are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful photo of you and your sons. You look more like a sister that a mother!!!
ReplyDeleteRoc...that's a great pic!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see you in the faces of your boys.
I only have daughters...but I know all about that "mama's heart".
Those apron strings will never be completely cut...nor should they! :)
My boys are almost 30 (yikes!) and 26... I don't think those apron strings ever really get cut - just loosened.
ReplyDeleteAaaw, I totally understand being a mom to three boys, one being in the Army. Handsome men they are!
ReplyDeleteYou are rich with those boys and they have to be with you;o)
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see you and your boys on your blog. What a great and thoughtful mom, the boys must love you more than you know.
