I think what your feeling is natural, we always want the best for our children and I know personally I will always worry just a little. It is so hard to see them go and yet we want them to fly. Even though he's been on his own for sometime, I think its normal that those feelings are there for you. I hope for only good things to come his way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263191567454481794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-89753160492143665042013-04-11T04:25:29.249-07:002013-04-11T04:25:29.249-07:00Merikay,
