Our youngest son is entering high school this fall as the eldest enters college. What a time for all of us! We have always believed the boys will do well in life, and the struggles we encounter in order to get them there have been trying at times. This is not anything new to any family with children, I know- but it feels good to be able to say that even though we all struggle, we pull through one way or another.
Steven is a kid who is very smart, creative and active. He is humorous and well liked. He also has come a long way over the past 7 years since I was a single parent. With the encouragement from every adult in his life, Steven proves to us over and over again that he can do almost anything if he sets his mind to it! Whether it be sports, friendships, "dating", or academics...when Steven wants something- if he works hard enough- he'll get it!
He is a work in progress- as all kids are...and I can only believe that if he continues in this path of struggle, try, succeed, he will do just fine. I worry, as all parents do, about both of our boys- so learning to breathe and deal with these struggles can be very stressful. Luckily, I have a great partner who feels as I do, and we talk and sort things the best we can together...
Steven is a lucky kid as is his brother, to have the courage and strength to wade through rough waters with the support of his family.
I love you Steven!
With that in mind-
Time for Tea!
