So the kids make it home form Mission trip and the boy asks if he can play on facebook. Cool, no prob I say 'cause I'm that kind of Mom and that's how I roll. Well he gets a Tweet & an IM saying see ya' at work. And oh shit, he pulls out his paperwork. He starts work the 13th, not the 19th! FUCKED UP!
He just got home, he has spent no time with any of us and know he is leaving again! He was very upset last night, but we are so proud of him. While my husband and I tried to think up excuses so he could spend more time with us and with this Thia exchange sister, before she leaves on the 28th, he was packing. That isn't me, he said. I have a job to do.
No going downtown with his siblings, no graduation parties, no nothing--- just the responsibilities of a working man.
So if you happen to have a snot nose punk of a kid who will learn archery or shooting sports at camp this summer-- I hope you know what a responsible 16 -- yep that's right he's still only 16-- year old instructor they will have. He will be there setting a good example for these young people.
I hope he knows how much I love him and that we are proud of him and that we will miss him.
