Mothering Teenage Boys
My first born was 15 a few weeks ago, and, I feel the same way I did on his first birthday. On his first birthday, I cried and held him all day. It was a multi layered cry. On one level, I was relieved that we had barely survived the first year. He was growing out of the baby stage. I wept harder though, when I thought about how he wasn’t the baby anymore, that my arms would get lighter from here on out. I cried in celebration because it was our day, his birthday, and my birthing day.
