Griffin George is an ADULT...well, on paper at least.
This guy turns 18 today! What a year it has been.....filled with unyielding love and consuming terror, with partings and reunions, with first romance and first steps to true independance. The closing door to childhood and the rest of the journey just beginning. As a parent, it has absolutely been the most challenging and heartbreaking year yet. I know most parents have BIG FEELINGS as they watch their children finish up high school and start making decisions about the next chapter, but ours has had a lot of unexpected twists and turns to navigate. I've learned many lessons about letting go, trusting the process and loving my kid even when it is really hard. And boy do I love this guy. My first child, my only son, a huge piece of my heart out walking around this earth. I know the next years will bring him so many challenges and accomplishments, joy and sadness, love and frustration and I hope to continue to have a front seat to love ...
