Hello Again

I found myself sitting in front of the computer - playing around on Facebook -
and decided to blog.

It’s been awhile since I posted a picture of the boys. 
This was taken at Christmas - right after my last blog. 
I have to show them off when I can………..I’ts not often
that I can get all 3 of them together for a picture.

Chris graduated from High School in February. 
He moved out…………..tore me up for a few weeks…..
but I’m starting to get better. 
When they leave……………….it’s so hard.  
I just hope I did enough……..it’s hard because there are no do-overs
…………….and I don’t ever think (as a parent) you feel like you’ve done enough.  

I hugged him before he left………I was crying.  
He said, “Don’t cry mom”.  I told him that even if he was 30 and moving out for the
first time - I would still cry.
 

Then I told him, “ I’m sorry”.He said, “Mom - you’ve nothing to be sorry for”.

I said, “ There are a lot of things I could have done better.”
Then he rushed to reassure me that everything was okay.

At that moment - I realize that I was just like my mother.   Mom is always saying to
me…………”I don’t know how you turned out so well.  I was a terrible mother.” And I
always rush to reassure her that she was wonderful.
