I know I have not written in such a long time and maybe I can
make it up to you with a whole list of new things happening. One, let’s start with my son. He will be 13 this June and I have to say he really isn’t that bad of a kid. For the most part, his name is the least called upon our house. He is pretty helpful, does his chores, does his homework and most of all I do not have issues with him and school. What more could a Mother ask for, right? I couldn’t…he is the ideal decent American kid, he has good morals, has great judgment in who he hangs out with. (record scratch) He has a girlfriend……say what? Ok, I admit I knew about his very first girlfriend and I did not have these feelings I am having with this one. I mean, he’s 13, 13, 13!! “Mom, I love her”…..then, an indescribable spinning was happening, a pain sharp and throbbing was happening in my chest. It was a feeling of a heart attack, possibly a stroke if I knew what they felt like. It was an agonizing stabbing pain, right in my chest where my heart sits, the very heart I loved him for all his 12 ¾ years, the heart that gave into his pouty face when I said “no”. AGHHHH, IT HURTS, WHY DOES IT HURT SO!? He loves her? He said “I love her”? Yep, my Son has caught the viral love bug.
After much a long discussion of the meaning of love, the do’s and
don’ts, the always be a gentleman, and remember she has a Father speech. I felt astonished and a sense of small security in myself as a parent that my son could tell me that. I would like to tell you that I was cool, calm and collective but that would be a lie. Before our discussion I had to have a long discussion with the only person I knew who could relate to my feelings, someone who only had one son, someone who knew exactly how I felt since I stole her only son, my Mother in law. So, in closing my son is in love. Though we do not know how long it will last, I know for a fact that she is his first love and she will always be special to him.
