The privilege of growth

Today My eldest son turned 15.

Happy birthday @eytankramer30

That felt big. Very big.

We skipped some work and school and I took my BIG boys for breakfast.

It doesn’t happen often, but every time we do a morning like this I always wish I made it happen more. It’s weird when your kids start becoming real people. When their ideas and questions and jokes - are all of a sudden “grown up”.

And yet there is something so sweet and great about it.

I’d dare to say it’s even a privilege.

I told them that it’s still strange for me to be “the mom”, especially when so often I still feel like a kid myself.

They laughed, and assured me that there really is nothing about me that looks like a a kid, except maybe my height. “You could be 35 maybe, but a kid... jeez mom, don’t get carried away”

One day, when their own kids look at them like they are supposed to know what they are doing or have it all figured out - I know they will understand.

But for today, I’ll settle for coffee and laughs with my most favorite people.
