Last night I look my 14 year old in the eye & say,
“You know that alcohol & pot are absolutely NOT a choice at your age,”
But what I really mean to say is this~
“Now that you’re in highschool, you’ll begin the work of spinning apart all that we have created.
And while I’ll delight in the spreading of your wings,
I will miss you…
forever.”

Wow. Powerful Kelly. Makes me sad (I only have a 7 and 3 yo). It sounds right on target as I think back on my own 14th year.
