Jon you’re off again to that chapter that takes you almost 1000 miles away from home. Summer flew by and I feel like you just got home. I guess it is true time just flies when you’re having fun. I have had your lifetime to prepare for this, sometimes wanting it to come quickly and sometimes hoping this day would never come. And now it has come again as you enter your Sophomore year at Pensacola Christian College. My Baby Boy at age 14-15-16 & up at the most impressionable ages in a young man’s life, still in front of your friends you kiss me before leaving to go anywhere and tell me out LOUD... I Love You Mom, and you never flinch, worried what your friends might say. My right hand and often my left, even during your summer vacation. Protecting you and preparing you has been such a big part of who I am – it’s hard to redefine myself and accept that my job is done. I remind myself that this is about you, but as usual, here I am making it about me again. Slightly neurotic, I find myself wanting to explain or apologize. I want to go back into history and wipe the slate clean of all my mistakes. I do admit that I have been selfish and hypocritical at times, that’s what being a Mom is all about. I have learned so much from you, you have played such a large part in molding me into the person I am. You have taught me well and I thank you. I could go on and on about all the things that you have accomplished that make me beam with pride, but It is not about what you have done or anything that you are capable of doing. It’s only about who you are; the real value is in the fact that you are here, my son and I love you. Call me when you’re in trouble for falling asleep under a tree. Call me when you need laundry money. Call me when you just want to say Hi, Mom! You can even call me when the tuition bill is due. (I will pay it) You have freedom, independence and adventure on your mind. I know you are ready; capable, competent and smarter than I’ll ever be. You have carried a part of my heart with you. Always do the RIGHT thing. It will not fail you. Have a great year and I cannot wait until Christmas break when you my baby is home again. Even if it is only for a few weeks. I love you Bubba! Mom
