Me and my not-so-little boy
My son is 13 now and getting ready to start high school next month. He went through a growth spurt this summer and is now taller than me and wearing bigger shoes than his father. He’s an amazing kid – smart, funny, kind, compassionate - I really couldn’t be more proud of him. He’s an only child so we’ve always been especially close and I’m pleased to say that even now that he has officially entered his teenage years, we still have a great relationship and can talk about anything and everything. Every parent says this so I hate to sound so trite but it really does seem like just yesterday that I was bringing him home from the hospital. From the moment he was born, it seems like time has been on fast-forward and I find myself now somewhat shocked that I am the parent of a teenager. I’m way too young to have a kid this old! Oh well…even if it does make me feel slightly old, I’m thrilled to watch my son grow up and become his own person. Of all the many jobs I’ve had in my life, being a parent has definitely been the most rewarding.
