Fearless




"Confidence comes from not always being right but from not fearing being wrong." - Peter McIntyre

Over the last sixteen years, I've determined the best part of being a mom is watching the boys grow into amazing young men.  The older they get, the more I appreciate what it is to be a parent.  Each time I think I couldn't be more proud of them, they do something to show me how wrong I was.  Today is BPA testing day.  I thought that I would have breakfast with H and help calm his nerves.  What I didn't take into account is that he has no fear.  So instead, he was calming my fears - about him driving home late, not eating enough, not sleeping enough...all those mom worries. 

So as I sit here tonight, wondering how they did, I realize I too have no fear.  I know H did well, that's just what he does.  We'll just have to wait until Friday to prove it.
