The answer was always NO...
no...
no...
For 22 years it was NO
You see it's not easy growing up with a mom's who's an ER nurse (that would be me)
Who has seen all the horrible accidents with horrible outcomes.
But then he became a young man, who no longer lived with his mommy (ER Nurse)
who couldn't live with himself and regret having always, "played it safe"
So 6 months after the fact....
His sweet wife, broke the news to me, while my son slipped out of their apartment door
with his dad following close behind.
How can I not be happy for him....
look at him :)
Brice's new ride...1974 Honda 550
I still don't like it
I still think about the worst that can happen
but.....
I have decided my "worries" will fall under the protection of that prayer I prayed over Brice when he was just a little guy....
"Lord this little boy has made me a nervous wreck, He is so very busy and adventurous.( I'm constantly running after him, keeping him safe, pulling him off high places, picking him off the floor when he tumbles out of his crib at 14 months, drops a man hole cover on his hand, jumps out of the swing backwards, etc etc etc.) Lord I really cant worry, he is gonna be who he is and I will turn all my worries over to you" So once again I reminded God of that prayer, thanked HIM for watching over Brice, and for HIS continued watch.
He wanted to give me a ride
how could I say no
On the back of a motorcycle with me boy
I always knew he would get one.... The time has come and he has.
Where is the helmets???? Be safe my grandson or i'll put a tinear on you.
ReplyDeleteThis is very sweet, Jackie. As mothers we always "find" something to worry about. I know how hard it must have been but good for you for riding along with him.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to ride a motorcycle but I'm too much of a wimp. You taught him to be careful and he will:)
ReplyDeleteAs always, such a great momma:)
ReplyDeleteI think God has Brice safe in His big hand. You're such a sweet Mama to take a ride with Brice, like you could ever resisit! He told me everyone's had a ride now but me, I gotta get up there!
