I was sitting in bed reading one night when Erik came home from work a couple weeks ago. I look forward to our conversations late at night so I can hear all about his day. Somehow we got on the subject of unfortunate things that happen to people and how there is a lot of good in the world but a lot of evil too. He actually thanked me for always protecting him and keeping him safe while he's been growing up. And I quote: "I mean it must have been so hard on you Mom. You were so young and had to do so much on your own, and you did such a good job taking care of me and protecting me." Wow. Of course I had to tear up at that. I thanked him and hugged him, and I reminded him that I may have gotten him this far, but that it's up to him now to be safe and stay on the right track and continue to make good decisions. I love my boy!

Thank you for allowing me to see your blog again - great posts. I always enjoy your posts and your "Rik" stories. Parenting never ceases, but really takes a leap forward once the grandkids start arriving.
Wow! That is wonderful. Isn't is great that we can write it down so we can look back the next time they make us want to pull our hair out?
But seriously, that was really sweet of him. Sounds like you did a great job as a mom.
