Shoot Catherine, I just found this post. I felt it as you wrote it, your heart going to your throat, wanting to squish him and keep this moment of protecting him , where he needs you, forever and ever....

My son is only nine, but it's starting already. He's needing me less and less. His independence is hovering over our heads. Those moments when they are still our babies are getting fewer and fewer between.

We're showing them how to go in the right direction, but with each lesson learned, our heart strings are pulled a little more...

Love how you handled this. Love this post.

That was so heartfelt and touched every mother who read it, I’m sure. I started to tear up because I know soon, my kids will be grown and I’ll be wondering, “When did that happen?”

Loved it.

Hi Michelle!
I am sure you were a great mom – the best you could be. Hell, I am sure I have given Brian plenty of reasons in the future to sit on a couch and tell a Dr. about his life with his redheaded mom…

Ahhhh the twos…that was the age that Brian liked to run around in a diaper and cowboy boots.
Much like many grown mean we know after a few too many beers…?…

Thanks for your post -

Theresa, I always love your posts – thanks for stopping by. Yes, just yesterday I was fantacising about the day there are no dirty boy underwear on the bathroom floor with wet towels anymore, so the feelings do come and go…
