This is my son Terry, and his best friends, Pach and Matt. Dont they look like the type boys you'd want to keep away from your daughters? *laughs* You'd not guess from just looking at them that they are great kids, very intelligent, with a lot of potential. I love them all very much.
He is so smart, and so funny, and so sweet, kind, loving, and sensitive. And I'm sure I dont tell him near as much as I should how very much I love him. Or how important he is in my life. But I hope he knows anyway. He never fails to amaze me, that no matter what situations I put him into, and what mistakes I make in our life. He always seems to bounce back and recover. He's a great kid. I want so much to give him a normal life, but with a mom like me, I'm not even sure what "normal" is. He is often moody, angry, and sad. I'd do anything to see him happy. And here I am, a healer... and I dont even have a clue how to help my own son.
I had him 8 days after I turned 19, and it has been quite a struggle to raise him on my own mostly. But it's also been the most rewarding experience of my life. I think like most parents I try to do the best I can for him, love him, shelter him, protect him, but not over baby him, and hope some how with all the mistakes I've made and will continue to make, some how he will still grow up to be a good, kind, responsible human being....
That's the best any of us can do as parents. |
