My son is growing up and it scares me. My chances of   decrease day by day. I fear that my influence will be   by someone else. Still, I repeat the basics and the possible   in life to him even though he doesn’t want to   . And I keep my   that my guidance will save   of us.
I know that I haven’t lost him   , not yet anyway, because of the   he gave me the other day when I   him off at school.
“I love you,” I said as always, as he took out his schoolbag.   , he would say, “I love you, too. Bye.” But he didn’t this time, and I was OK with it. He’s fourteen; what can I   ? Then he looked straight at me. “I love you,” he said   . He looked into my eyes to see that I had heard him.
His   and the expression in his eyes happened unexpectedly. I couldn’t even believe my ears. I know him   than anyone else in the world. I could hear what he was not saying, “I love you, too, Mom. I wanted to say it back to you   yo u said it, but there were some people walking by and they might   me, and then teased(取笑) me. But I didn’t mean to   your feelings, and I didn’t want you to leave without hearing it, because I   do love you. Please   .”
I do understand. I understand that I can’t be with him or   him every second. Now, I have tried to prepare us both for the separation since he is growing up.
