My Hope is in Him

Growing Up...

Okay, so the boy is growing up.  Isn't this the point of parenting?  To see your children raised up properly and become more independent of you, the parent?  My head knows this, but my heart is just a teensy, weensy bit sad.  It was nice to be needed and indispensible, even though it drove me crazy at times.  My oldest son/14 spent almost the whole day away from the family home making a new friend and trying a new drama class.  Did I mention it was away from me?  In places I have never been?  Away from me?  Part of me is glad because this is the boy I couldn't pry off of my body to go to church.  (Hence, I became a director of the nursery!).  Now he prances off happily to a new friend's house without so much as a backward glance.  Hmmmm....

 

So it goes.

 

Until next time.
