Who knew that 20 years would fly by like the evening breeze, it seems just like yesterday I was graduating high school myself, no one prepares you for life, no one tells you how amazing it is to have your own child, and no-one tells you how hard it is to let your child go. When you become a parent everything changes, changes that I never expected, and changes I wouldn’t change for the world. I had so many high expectations of myself, I wanted to be a high and powerful lawyer in a city, no life, just dedicated to my work, then the best thing ever in my life happened to me. I never expected myself to ever have children, but I tell you what, when I found out that I was pregnant it become the absolute best thing to ever happen in my life. Granted I did not become that lawyer but I became the absolute best mother that I possibly could have been, I would not change a single thing that has happened in my life.

With every sunrise and sunset, every heartache, every happy moment, every lesson learned with life, nothing prepared me for one of the hardest days of my life, no book read could have even remotely explained to me the difficulty I would face, letting my son go. Life revolved around my son, I put my life on hold for my son, now he is a man, and on going out on his own, I am so proud, and I would do it all over in a heartbeat.
