Mixed Message

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.”
