Buckle up, baby!! Griffin is 16.
Raising a teenager is awesome! I'm totally serious. Griffin is so self-sufficient yet willing and ready to learn all kinds of adulting skills. He is hilarious and such an interesting conversationalist when you catch him at the right time. 😉 He is interested in the world beyond this small town and eager to get his wings (or backpack and train ticket or wheels and gas money). He is empathetic and comforting with those he loves. He is a good guy and tolerates my many, many, many "teachable moment" conversations. He is a loyal friend, a loving mischievous brother and a dependable team mate. He has avoided many of the typical teenage pitfalls of worrying about what others think of him, his looks, his beliefs, his family. He knows and likes who he is and so do we. I'm so so proud of him.
