That's just the way of life

Tonight, as I was tucking my youngest into bed, I gave him a great big squeezy hug and I marveled out loud at how big he is getting. I remembered the tiny little baby I used to cuddle in my arms and told him he would always be my little guy, even though he wasn't so little anymore. He matter of factly said, "that's okay mom, that's just the way of life." Such big wise words from such a still small little boy.
