Growing up

My son has just received his driver's license.   He is growing older as am I.  I can almost imagine his age, the pain, the confusion, the happiness in the little things in life such as a crush saying hi.  One of my wishes is to place a big piece of bubble wrap around him but not too tight, so he can breathe.  Knowing when to step in and when to step back are lessons that I wished I learned in school.  Today, I am just happy for him and am trying to not get ahead of myself as the loss can feel great.
