It’s not just that he is growing up and moving on but it’s all those weeks when he wasn’t with me that I wonder, “what would be different in his life if he had been?” I know I shouldn’t look back but right now that’s all I seem to be able to do. I wanted better for him. I feel like I have failed him and yet I am so proud of the man that he is becoming. I hope that in one of the chapters of his life he will remember that he was/is loved beyond measure. My boy!
