It's hard to believe that my son is now 21 years old. Time has gone by way too fast! I know that is such a cliche, but you know, when you face this milestone, it really has gone by way too fast. Not sure that I am ready for it, but ready or not, he has decided that it is time for him to spread his wings and be on his own. Yes, my son is moving out!
Final steps. Is it really happening?
Once the bed goes in, you know this is real stuff.
I had a friend ask me if this is a good, bad or hard thing? I said it is all of those! It is a good thing that he grown up and ready to take on his own responsibilities and that is ultimately what we want for our kids. We have spent their whole lives getting them ready for this very moment. And I am extremely proud of the man he is becoming, but it is a bad thing in that we always think we know what's best for them, and only want what's best, so the unknown is the bad part! Hard...I think that is without saying. It is hard letting him go.
As for Ryan, I think he is pretty happy with his new place!
I love you son, and pray that God blesses you on your journey. May you continue to love Him, honor Him in all that you and know that even though you may not have your bed in this house, it will ALWAYS be your home.
"do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
