letting go

a teenager's unmitigated social life is a rabid animal.

a parent learning to let a teenager go lives through a roller coaster, with pride satisfaction and relief interspersed with moments of gnawing anxiety.

and yet far better that they strain to pull away than that they do not wish to, or are incapable of, ever flying off. behind my grumbles and underneath my worries, i'm thankful.
