The past six months have completely changed him - he grew up before our eyes...
Just a few months ago, he was asked to name his favorite song...and could not even think of one...and here we are today - his i-pod in his ears - listening to his favorite music...
"Mom, I have something to tell you that you won't like...I don't really like Jack Johnson"
At that moment I realized that it is now His music, His decisions, no longer mine....
I watch him with his friends...becoming so independent...watch him e-mail them on facebook...watching him change in so many ways...
He is seeing the world through his own eyes...with his own decisions, his own insights, his own views...becoming more independent, more mature, more responsible...he loves to help us...he looks out for his little brothers...he looks out for me....how proud he is making me...
And as I watch him grow, watch him change, I also realize that our relationship is also changing, also growing...we talk to each other, we are close, I can now see the bond we have...and I cherish every moment...
So today, as I watch him grow...I wish I could hang on to him...but know I must let him go...
If only I could freeze time...just for a moment...
