Another turn

Taken by Alexandra Griffiths: My son on his birthday with his new binoculars.
My son Ronan and his new binoculars 7/16/24

Another year gone by

I swear, I only blinked twice!

But here I am, seeing my baby boy turn 5…

His hands still small but, my how he’s grown

With tears in my eyes and smile on my face,

I’m not sure how else to explain.

My baby boy was just born…. 5 years ago.

I don’t know how to feel, it all passes by so quickly, it doesn’t quite feel real.

Happy 5th Birthday my little seal.

For anyone confused by the last line, my sons name is Ronan, which, in Celtic, translates to Little Seal, there is a neat little folk tale about it too if you’re up for a google search!
