This year my Son turned 18. I am thinking all is well. He is now an adult. Me being a MOM. I won't have to worry as much. YEAH OK SURE! Today showed me that I was TOTALLY WRONG.
I haven't been feeling to well. Head cold and everything that goes with it. I sent my son off to school and decided to go lay back down. A couple hours later I get a phonecall. Its from the school. It's the school nurse at the votec saying NOT TO WORRY. Of course with those being the first words out of her mouth. I WAS WORRYING. She continued to tell me that my Son was working in auto body shop. He was taking the broom off its holder. The METAL HOLDER fell and knocked my Son right on his forehead. That he is NO LONGER BLEEDING but I need to come up and get him. To take him to the emergency room. He needs stitches.
I went to get him and saw him and wanted to cry. He had this big bandage over his head but my Son gave me the thumbs up. Nurse tried to calm me down. I just wanted to get my son and take him to the emergency room. We got there. Nurses took real good care of him. Took all his info. Took him in the back to get his stitches. I went back and watched them check him. Give him the needle. I held his hand as they gave him the stitches. He didn't want me to but it was for me. Yeah I was tearing up. He might be older and able to deal with pain differently. But he is STILL MY BABY. It came crystal clear for me today. There is NO OFF switch in being a Mother. No down time. We will ALWAYS worry about our children. No matter what their age is.
