about a boy

how to let go. and let him get on with it.
how to know when to stop. lecturing. and start. talking.
how to listen. connect.
how to let him make his bed. and lie in it.
my son. he's growing up.
he's nearly 17. he's nearly 6 foot. though today he looked like he'd grown again. must get the tape measure out.
and yet. i love the way he still finds the time. for hugs.
never too old. for hugs.
