I hate that he's got a countdown going on, but I'm sure he's just anxious to become a man. It sounds like you are raising him right if the compliments from your friend are any indication. :)CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436550535995544186.post-41410862207633934572013-06-23T16:50:07.683-05:002013-06-23T16:50:07.683-05:00Oh how sweet!Oh how sweet!brokenteepeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907414560986208401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436550535995544186.post-65318691404623512642013-06-23T16:27:32.685-05:002013-06-23T16:27:32.685-05:00Oooh!

I think your advice to your son to follow his heart is perfect. They have to make their own decisions and find what makes them truly happy.

Mine is a sophomore next year, so I've got 3 years, but I tell you it scares the pants off me to think of her leaving us, and out there on her own. I do not look forward to it because I just love being around her.
