My Beloveds

Like any Mum, my children are my life, my deepest loves and my world. As they have aged I may not be with them as much as I once was, but they know I love, adore and live for them. When my first beloved, Skyler, was given to me, I had this instant feeling of not needing anyone else in the world. With him in my arms, he completed me. That's when I realized I no longer wanted to be married to his father. I had such an overwhelming love of immense strength, he was all I cared about. I stuck it out as I knew I wouldn't marry again and I didn't want him to be an only child. I was one for 10 years and as much as I complain about my sister, I really didn't like being a lone child. However, now maybe I wouldn't mind it. Just kidding Debra.

Skyler was the cutest, most out going child ever. (its my blog I can say what I want) No child was sweeter, more happy, or just plain animated than my Skyler. He was truly a gift from the Angels. I still believe both my sons are and I will go to the grave believing that. Since I thought my son was so perfect and fearless, I wanted him to model, the boy had/has the looks. When I took him in to audition for a local talent agency, she came back and asked to sign him for acting because he was so animated and without hesitation. His very first gig was when Children's Hospital and Scottish Rite merged, some 15 years ago. Skyler was just under 3 maybe just 4, but with this job he got his SAG card. When we got his royalty check we took him to Toys R Us and let him buy whatever he wanted. We explained to him that he worked for this reward but subsequent monies we would invest or save. The one thing my ex was always good at was picking investments and saving money. He continued on that path until he was around 8 or 9 then decided he didn't want to do it anymore. Okie dokie, whatever you want SkylerRoo.

Once he got to high school, he chose Drama as his extracurricular and took that all 4 years of school. Now again, I know EVERY mother says this, but this kid has talent. When he's on stage whether it be a Drama or a Comedy, he owns the stage. He has a presence and his speak is effortless. You honestly believe he is the character. He is now in his 2nd year of college, thank you Jesus, but there isn't a Drama course where he attends. I'm hoping he will gravitate back towards it. He is 6'2+ and I tell him he could walk the runway or do side modeling gigs or whatever he wants to do. I am not a stage mother by any means, I just want both my sons to be happy and fulfilled and do what they love doing for their careers.

Last night my second beloved, Spencer, graced the high school Drama stage for the very first time. His role was as the Giant. Again, I was so proud of the way he took command of the stage and knowing his lines and just having a blast being the Giant. I am a very humbled, proud, grateful Mum of my two boys. They will never get just how much I depend on their humor, sarcasm (oh yes, both are fluent) love and support. They are always a prize in my eyes.
