Today my son turned seven, and I turned 23. Yes, I had him on the day I turned 16. Many of the choices I made when I was a teenager were beyond foolish, and I still have my regrets. And even though I know I’ve grown, I sometimes I get worried that I’m bringing my son up wrong—that I’m somehow subconsciously passing my past foolishness on to him.
But today I took him to the park to celebrate our birthdays. 407Please respect copyright.PENANAWIrxd1jDal
He played for two hours with a girl who has burn scars that cover most of her neck and face. 407Please respect copyright.PENANAWV7nXPBP3O
When my son took a break to eat a snack, 407Please respect copyright.PENANAngz9YM4yor
he pointed to her and said, 407Please respect copyright.PENANAzi7SnLrrEL
‘She’s really pretty and cool!’
Which left me thinking, 407Please respect copyright.PENANACvt3xIfcB7
‘I must be doing something right as a mom.’
