My boy...you know the one I was ranting about a few weeks ago. The one that had my stomach in knots, me in tears and worried about not making it through the 7th grade. Yes, that one. Well he made it! Barely pulled through but he did it. And not before his Uncle Tony had a "come to Jesus" talk (was more like yelling) with him one evening. I get that he is a teenager and at a stage where he probably doesn't care about school and or anything that's remotely involved with it....but how in the world can I get through to him how important school is and that these are the best years of his life. Maybe my brother got through to him. Maybe he was the one who finally did it. Only time will tell. I am glad and very thankful he is moving forward but I do worry that next year will be another difficult year. I pray that I am wrong and that something inside him has snapped already or will snap this summer and he will come out fighting and working his butt off these next 5 years. I have great expectations for my children. Doesn't every parent? For now, I will continue being grateful that he made it and enjoy our time this summer...and wait to worry when I really do need to worry. Awful big statement there Missy!
This child may cause me to worry and lose sleep but he really is a great kid. He has one of the biggest hearts I know and is awfully protective of me and his little sister. He's my bodyguard :).
Cool dude...
