Birthday

Ummm...So Ethan turned 22. He is now legally, morally, and physically an adult. He has a job, he has rent payments, he's engaged to be married. I still think of him as my little boy, but he has a whole big seperate life, and I'm just a cheerleader and occasional money lender. 


I'm glad he still wants to come over for a birthday dinner and dessert to celebrate his birthday. 


I wonder how many more years we have celebrating his birthday all together in my living room. One day he's going to decide that he has other plans, and I will be happy. But also a little sad.

Being a parent to adult children is the best and worst thing that has ever happened in my life.

Happy Birthday, kid!!
