Hey Bob

I was swapping stories with an old friend recently and we chatted about our grown sons.

I think Bob will appreciate that I was currently in a situation with my boy that required attention that I did not want to deal with- you feel me ?

And so to set the stage… I had seen the Civil War movie and did not want a repeat in my living room of the epic fight scene (which is what can happen if my son and I get on opposite sides of an issue but it’s like Hulk and Thor when we go at it – no shield and lasers….its fists and hammers)….. Ok back on track, sorry Bob, I know you don’t watch movies so the last paragraph will not benefit you at all!!

So, this conversation with the old friend… After talking with her I just wanted to hug my son. It had been a long time and he has always given me the best hugs. (You know how some people take a hug and some give a hug…. Well he always gives me the best hugs).

So I set it in my mind and heart and the set pen to paper of the small issue to discuss… Put it aside and then began to pray for the courage to bring it up and deal with it……

Know what, God did it for me!!!! And I did not even have to get out the paper, my son brought up something on his heart and then I said oh yeah I need to talk to you about “such and such” to which he agreed…..and then I told him… I’m glad that’s out of the way cause I want to just be mom from now on. Now more business…..just mom.

That was 3 weeks ago and now each and every time I see him I GIVE him a hug! A big bear hug!

No more business, I just want to be mom.
