The Most Asked Question

Since I've been gone for a few months,
I've had several inquiries as to how the
boy and the girl are doing....or better yet...
if they are still an "item."

Getting right to the point...
they are.
They talk on the phone.  Alot.
"She" now has a cell phone.
If he can't get her here at home,
he calls her cell.
If she doesn't answer that,
he calls my cell phone.

Date nights have been reduced.
By me, not them.
I can't afford it! ha!
He visits here when I'm not too tired.
From work.
Or Christmas shopping.
Or cooking.
Or baking.
My friend and I made 53 dozen cookies this year.

We had a hiccup.
"He" did something hurtful.
Very out of character for him.
I cried.
"She" was mad at me!
"She" insisted I apologize to him.
HUH?
All is good now.

They want to get married.
Don't get excited.
I'm not.
It's only been 4 months.
Love is made of dreams.
And dreams are born of love.
It's ok to dream.
And love.

They may not always do things right,
but they are good kids.
They have each others backs.
They love each other.
And for today,
that's all this Mom could ask for.

So the little love is continuing. Well I think you're right - make them take a long long time.

Encoursging the love birds to travel through the seasons to get to know one another, is a good thing, but young love doesn't often want to listen to us older, wiser, parents! They might not agree, but it isn't going to hurt either of them to date, get to know one another throughout the varying seasons and events throughout the span of a year. I am happy you are close by to observe and monitor.

Many changes for you in 2012 weren't there? Happy New Year Jill . . . be well my friend.

Challanging to be the mom of a teen in love. Soundls like you have the situation in hand.

Bless your heart Jill you have your hands full. It is so hard for the children to take advice when they think they are grown and know it all.

Lots of prayers and hugs
