Reaffirming family love with my grown son


--by splain, posted Jan 19, 2016
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to tell you that my son rang me to thank me for the phone call and email I sent him yesterday. He was grateful for reminding him on how the small stuff is not worth worrying about and to be thankful for his life and all the good things in it.

I felt very proud of him for recognizing that he had forgotten the joy and goodness in his life. I also recognize that I am now relating to my grown children in a very different way. More loving, positive and kind. I am a softer more approachable women now and I think they a responding to the new me. The change has been noticed.

What more could I ask for? A special thank you to all of here on this lovely site of KS. You helped me become this way. Big hugs of love to all of you.

I also hear how you have changed to relate to your son at a different, supportive adult to adult level/ relationship. Two way growth is always the best.

While it may seem we are "doing the work" and that we need to change, i also fell that we are letting og, unlearning and re-discovering who we have always been at our very core, but perhaps needed all that we have seen and done in the school of life to fully recognize just who we be!

I can hear in your words how much you love your son, so I know he hears that, too. And no matter what age they are, that is all they really want. So glad the KS ripples are finding their way to him. I've seen it in my family. That's the way KindSpring works! Thank you for sharing this and also for the inspiration you give to all of us.
