As you said, we'll never get the "he doesn't need me anymore" feeling with him. He'll always need us and in large portions. Had he not been our first child, the feelings would be different still. This version of parenthood is the only one I will ever know. Thanks for wondering about it with me, KaKi.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152991363724354254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295255367865723397.post-26996408259578602302011-05-05T11:47:37.662-05:002011-05-05T11:47:37.662-05:00Very well said, Joy. i wonder if what you are fee...Very well said, Joy. i wonder if what you are feeling is a feeling that all parents, feel at some point in their journey. I wonder if most, like me, have that feeling marked by kids becoming more independent and not "needing" us like before? If it is that moment that most of us wake up and realize that "we" have been shoved in a box for the last 16 years? If maybe you are feeling this now, because with Stross you have never and will never have that moment of "he doesn't need me anymore"? Please know that I am simply wondering.....I love you. I love that you will allow that special boy to get up this morning and let those clouds soar away. I love that you can articulate your journey in a way that makes us all "wonder".KaKihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694609351868176744noreply@blogger.com
