I got an email today from my 19-year-old homeschooled-throughout college-freshman son...
There are many doors that I may be passing through on my own and with my wife as life starts to change, Mama. But there are still so many that are open to the both of us, to walk through and share together, just like always.
The only reason you are able to leave me at the door is because you and Dad got me there in the first place, with the confidence to know that I could make past the door and onward.
So for the doors that we can pass through together, and also the ones I may have to face without you, I thank you for getting me to a place where I know I can make it, not without you, but thanks to you.
I love you...
I dabbed at my eyes and emailed him back to tell him I can't imagine a more precious blessing than being his mama.
