My kids are closed mouthed of late about stuff going on in their lives but, every now and then they open up and let me know what is going on. I love those little moments, Big T went through a very moody teenager phase a year or so ago but, lately he is sharing more about what is going on. It took Sprat going off to college before he opened up and actually wanted to talk to his mom. Sprat text me and his dad these days to update us on what is going on at school and gives a call on the weekends if things are not too busy. It does this mom good to hear all the things he is getting to do at school.
My work schedule has been a little crazy and I feel like I have not been the best mom. Last night Big T had a panic attack while the hubbs and I were on our way home. He called when we were on the way home and said he could not breath and that his heart was racing. Now he is a little over dramatic sometimes but, I could hear the fear in his voice. You do not know stress until you have been in a car with your husband driving soooo slow while you are trying to reach your child that thinks they are suffocating. We finally got home to find Big T sitting on the porch almost hyperventilating. We did some deep breathing to slow everything down and when he seemed more calm, Big T and I went to the store. He has been congested so I thought we could pick up so OJ and a few other things I needed. We had a wonderful talk, I always learn new things when we talk. He has grown so much since his freshman year of high school and his interests have changed. It is funny how things work out and how something as stressful as your child having a panic attack turning out to be a blessing in disguise.
