I'm so used to going places with my son.
Bringing him along with me at almost anywhere I go.
I know that eventually he will have his own life.
He will have to go places on his own.
To be with his friends, instead of me.
I felt a slight pinch in my heart when I learned that next month will be their educational trip, and they are allowed to go on their own now...
Parents are no longer required to join.
This will be the first time he will go on an educational trip without me.
I was trying so hard to convince him to let me join the trip, but he is already so psyched with the idea of going on this trip without the "MOM".
I'm beginning to feel "unnecessary" now that he can do things on his own.
I may be acting silly...
Yes i think i am.
His dad says its ok.
To let him go on his own.
For him to learn things his way.
Maybe i just need to remind myself that i should not hinder my son's growth. Most life's lessons are learned on personal experience anyway.
I should let my Sebastian spread his wings...
After all, i want him to become a great person when he grows up.
I'll just be the wind beneath his wings as he begin to fly on his own...and maybe in time soar as high as he can.
P.S.
I'll try my best not to follow his itinerary for that day, the last thing he needs is a stalker mom following him everywhere. =)

You are an angel of a mom, Adeth. I had to look through a lot of bookmarks to find your blog again, but wanted to try "catching up", and I am so glad that I did, because you have so touched me with your thoughts. Your son is very blessed to have a mom such as you, who has been there in word and in deed, explaining to him the things he needs to know. He has been blessed in having a mom with your wisdom, and this will take him far. Much farther than the field trip, but also down the roads he will take for the rest of his life, when he is faced with choices, he will remember your words, and find his way :) benn
