My lad is a good lad, but he's just growing up and pushing boundaries and needing freedoms that make me worry and worry and worry. Tears fall on my pillow too because of having to 'let go' ... but it seems that our love will smooth the way and eventually they will 'get it' ... we've just got to breath through those moments...and exhale :)Minhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986624225424219367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-41843673902487959332010-01-25T14:49:09.922-06:002010-01-25T14:49:09.922-06:00Ugh...I get it.

I have had experiences in my life where I had no one else to turn to except for God and that is a good thing. He has proven to me that He can be trusted.<br />The only advice I can give, is -- Grab hold of God and don’t let go! For He'll never leave you, He's always at your side, He love you - and your son - unconditionally. You can cry at His side as much as you like, and He will dry your tears...
