Know what...they weren't any trouble then..I just thought so!
Heh, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I thought about that a while back and it kinda scared me. I remembered how hard it was to put my kids on the bus the first time, I thought it was so scarey and dangerous for them. And then Prom, and dates in general. As the years went on it kept getting to bigger things...my oldest son joining the Air Force and spending his first year in Iceland. My daughter moving away with a guy I didn't like. (and marrying him ..uggg). Then my youngest and all his rebellions in school and at home. He's the "vocal" one and let me know the older ones being grumpy and quiet were actually better! Then he joined the Army, and sending him off to boot camp was sooo hard....I thought. He came home for Christmas from boot camp and I watched his girlfriend of 4 years blow him off with an engagement ring in his hand. And I took him back to the airport, and stood there with tears in my eyes as he left to go back to SC. And it was sooo hard....I thought. And then, he went to war, and my heart broke. He came home for leave which was wonderful, but then I had to take him to the airport and send him back to war again....and it was the hardest yet. OMG, I just don't want any more of these tests. Please God, please. I don't know where he is right now, I only hope he's safe and ok.
BUT! I have a pretty baby grandbaby and that's a good thing. I have to go see her tomorrow and enjoy the time she's safe and easy.
