The theme of the day from
is "Letting Go".Inspiration: This week's theme is from Lynn. She suggested, "this can go abstract: people, parties, goodbyes...or literal: hands, balloons, falling leaves, leaps heavenward....or concrete: paint, rust, even nail polish."
The first thing I thought of was my son, who will be turning 21 in just two months. He's my only child, and it's been hard for me, "letting go". The last couple of years, I've had to let him make his own mistakes and solve his own problems. Even though I wanted to make all his troubles go away, I had to let him grow up. I worry about him all the time, but, I know, deep down inside, that he'll be OK. I reminded him the other day of when he was little, and he wanted to marry me when he grew up. His reply was, "Aw, Mom, every kid says they want to marry their Mom when they're little.". It's still hard letting go, though, because for me, he is, and always will be my baby.
Thanks for reading!
