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. 553Please respect copyright.PENANAPNCPxnFFco
He played for two hours with a girl who has burn scars that cover most of her neck and face. 553Please respect copyright.PENANAtHVv6m3YP0
When my son took a break to eat a snack, 553Please respect copyright.PENANAfSEs5GcZR7
he pointed to her and said, 553Please respect copyright.PENANAK4UDlnIQ3M
‘She’s really pretty and cool!’
Which left me thinking, 553Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ1WyOZwf6
‘I must be doing something right as a mom.’
