I blinked by eyes and all the worries I have had in the past two years are gone. He has become so responsible and helpful and pitches right in without being asked. At 16 I'm sure we will still have to weather a poor choice or two, but gosh the kid is on the right track, just like your Jack.<br /><br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-32490191106900187352011-05-30T13:46:30.183-05:002011-05-30T13:46:30.183-05:00Jack is a great kid.

Isn’t it beautiful, too, that as your child/friend grows into adulthood, your relationship morphs a bit to include more equal footing as friends?? I hope you know what I mean. As mothers, it’s wonderful to see our young men contribute. I repeat, Jack is a great kid! (but that’s no surprise given his parentage!).
