Growing up is hard to do! Or what I really should say is change is hard............my baby who is now is 18 years old just wrote me the sweetest letter home! I feel like I am the one growing up and changing going away from the role I have played for the past 22 years of being the mom. I know I will always be the mom to my wonderful children, yet they are growing up and I am changing careers and change is all around us so it is nice that they still remembered that: I am that mommy-lady who made them laugh, and that I was the one who knew where their shoes were half the time, and the one who made lists on paper for everything we would do (job charts, grocery lists, to-do lists, and fun to-do lists).
But mostly I am glad that they still call home to talk, get advise and let me in on their live and mostly I hope that they know I still love them if not MORE than ever before and I want them to feel it. Thanks Alex I will always treasure your love note!
