Yesterday I received a text from T that alarmed me a little bit.
I should have known that he knew that it was a scam but when he did not respond to several of my texts I messaged his dad’s girlfriend and asked her to have T call me.
Now he had answered his texts telling me that he had not been ignoring me he was playing his game and he already knew that it was a scam.
Shortly there after, I was paged to the phone. I answered it and did my standard greeting.
Me: Thank you for holding this is Jay-lyn how can I help you?
T: This is your son.
Me: Who?
T: Your son. You told L to tell me to call you.
Me: Well you answered in the text already. When did your voice change on the phone? I did not know that it had changed. I am getting teary eyed.
T: Mom it is my voice. I am growing up.
Me: I know but it is another new step for me to grow use to.
When we hung up I cried a wee bit.
He is growing too fast for me.

The Wonderful and Wacky World of One Single Mom 
Ha ha. It’s tough when they grow up. My older daughter just signed a lease on a new apartment with some friends. She has been away at college for 4 years, but this feels so permanent.

Not sure why I am struggling. I knew going into this parent thing that my goal is to help him become independent and strong. It just seems to be happening to fast for my liking.

It does go by too quickly. It’s wonderful to see them grow up and become the people they were meant to be. At the same time, you can’t help but miss the days when you were their whole world.

I have been doing some reflecting lately. That also may be a part of what I am feeling. Things I have done it said ti T and now it comes back and I think and worry how it affects him. I think I need spring. I need my sunlight to shake away these cobwebs and thoughts.
