Nostalgia in Blackwood - 10 Years Later....

It's been more than a minute since I've logged on here. Even though we have a month left of spring it feels as if it's already over. The smell of summer is in the air, and the temps have been warm lately but today it's nice and breezy. The blossoms in the spring are gorgeous but now they have fallen off the trees and have disappeared. Earlier this month I took a drive to my old hood with Noah and couldn't believe how fast time flew having raised this kid here. It's been 10 years since we've seen his childhood train. He loved coming here with his miniature Thomas the train figures pretending to be a conductor. I thought it was a train phase but he is now 14 and still has a love for trains. He was such a cutie. Still is. I captured a 10 year gap pic of him now and then and he's certainly grown up! Having him at the time that I did was a blessing in disguise. I needed his love, his comfort, his example. He was a reminder to me that all humans are imperfect. That there is always hope and to always have faith. Having him in my late 30's was a miracle and I will forever be grateful to God for bringing him down to me in 2009. I'm so grateful to have lived moments with Noah for the first eight years of his life here in south jersey. I have to say that he was my solace and helped me to love more than I already did, help others more than I already was, and literally saved me from the negativities of the world.
