Maybe after this year I'll be ready to start letting go of the things I can't control once he's off to college and I can't see him start living his "true identity."
It doesn't sound ridiculous--it sounds like self-awareness. Though, loosening our grip on control and finding faith in ourselves and our child's emerging maturity can lead to healthier outcomes for everyone. ;) Thanks for the comment, and hang in there, Mama!

It sure seems the world is in dire need of more wisdom right now.
