Letting Go

 
Spring sprung, and so did you.

I have watched you these last few weeks,

You have grown, blossomed before my eyes.

There is a certain independence about you, a certainty with which you go about your activities.

I watch from afar, fascinated, and happy you don’t see me.

It tugs at my heart, this independence.

I see you, more than ever, as your own person.

I love it! But it also makes me ache deep inside.

This is the beginning of me having to let go,

To let you explore, discover, make mistakes, fall down, learn, grow and change.

These lessons, this life; is yours.

I am here to guide and help if you need me, but this journey...it is yours.

I will be here to hold your hand, if you want to hold mine.

I will hold and hug you when you need and want it.

I will pick you up if you want help.

I will listen when you want to talk.

I will be here whenever, and I mean whenever you need me.

I am and always will be your mom.

I love you Reece and I am watching and enjoying this journey you are on.
