My son turns 16 next month. Seems like yesterday he was a toddler.
He won't be driving, however. His grades are poor and I told him that taking driver's ed this summer isn't happening. He will take it next spring if his grades are good before Christmas. I expect they will be....
My daughter will be 14 in September this year. She is a know-it-all child, but that's not the problem.....she really does know it all.......LOL!
Both of my kids are great people, even though they are teens and sometimes their mouth is the biggest part of their bodies, but I don't have problems with them and they are obedient.....except when it comes to doing chores!
My son spoke during service at my grandmother's church on Sunday. They were passing a mic around to those who wanted to honor their mother. He said that he loved me and loved my company. I thought it was special.
I never had a good relationship with my mother. I hated her with a passion when I was growing up. To be honest, I wanted her dead and gone cause I couldn't stand her.
I never wanted my children to feel that way about me, and I'm honored that they both prefer to be with me almost all the time. My daughter prefers to sit with me in church instead of with her peers! I love them both and they are my most precious possessions. Why God chose me with those blessings, I'll never know, but I'm glad He did. I don't take it for granted.
