My Sweetheart, off you go! Byron Bay schoolies are finally here.
Do you remember when you first asked me about them? Do you recall how quick I was to say NO? I do...
Please know, it's not because I don't want you to have fun, think you're irresponsible, or that I'm mean. No, it's because I have a hard time accepting that you've grown into an adolescent. I feel that by watching over you, you'll be safe. It's because every day without seeing you, talking to you, receiving a hug and a kiss for good morning and good night seems very sad.
And now, you're about to board a plane to Byron Bay. What's happened between the first NO and today? A lot of growing up... on my part.
I love you, and I trust you. I believe in you, and I believe that we have raised you well. You're a healthy, smart, beautiful, and a very sensible young man. I am proud of you every single minute of every single day.
I do hope you'll have fun, make new friends, and enjoy time with your mates. I hope you'll relax, take a deep breath, and see how beautiful life is.
I love you to the moon and back infinity times.
Mum
P.S. I promised not to bother you with phone calls more than once a day. Sorry, but I'm not sure if I can stick to that. Hahaha, but I'm sure you know it.
