Sometimes its hard to let go......

Sometimes it is hard to let go.

My son is 9.  He is growing faster then I ever thought was possible.  Sure people always give that advice "Enjoy them they grow fast."  Really I just nodded and to myself thought..."I wish people would stop saying this".  It is true though.  Yesterday, it seems like....I was holding my little Ooga Booga in my arms.  He was a 7 pound 2 ounce bundle of pure happiness.  There was nothing in the world that could make my smile bigger.  He was my baby boy.  The years just flew.  Today is here.  Tomorrow he will be older.  Who would think it could be so hard to let go?  Sure I enjoy every second.  Every time he turns a different age I think.."This is the best age."  It always is.   Sometimes its just hard to let go.  I want him to enjoy life but I panic when the opportunities arise.  Tomorrow is going to the coast for two days and I am literally stressed  out of my mind.  I want everything to be perfect. I want him to be safe.  I want to be there if he hurts himself.  I can't always be there and that is the hard part.  Sometimes its just hard to let go.  It will be a fun weekend though with Hunter..who is 6 and my second panic attack in the making.  I'm not ready for him to not be my baby yet.  Sometimes its just hard to let go.......My boys are amazing.
