My son called me today. I hadn’t heard from him in awhile and I was starting to get worried. He told me he hadn’t been feeling well and was trying to just lay low and be himself again before he called. He knew that I could tell when he was sick and I would worry and want him to come home immediately. He was right, that is exactly what I would do. He knew me too well. He said he was much better now and he would be coming home as soon as they finished the project that he and his friends had started. He told me it was almost completed and he couldn’t wait to be home. He missed me and I missed him. He also said he might bring me home a surprise! Imagine that, with everything else that has been going on, he thinks of me. That boy makes me smile! My son said he would call me again later and that he loved me and told me once more not to worry. I told him I loved him too and missed him big time. I also said that I would always worry about him, that’s my job. I told him to be safe. He said “I love you too Mom” and then hung up.
I sat there for a minute and just held the phone in my hand. I so miss my son. He has been by strength and my confidant for such a long time. God truly gave me a gift when He gave me my son. We are like two peas in a pod. He’s a smart boy, or should I say, young man. He is full of wisdom and integrity and compassion. Sometimes I feel like he’s the adult and I’m the child. I learn so much from him. I can’t wait for him to come home again.
Actually, I didn’t want him to leave in the first place. With all the strange happenings going on and the undead trying to take over the world, I wanted my son to stay safe in the house and be where I could find him no matter what. He felt otherwise. He told me that he believed God told him to work on this project with his friends. He had to follow God’s direction. Even though this meant a road trip into some desolate areas, he had to go. He would stay in touch and he would pray for me to be safe and strong. I also would pray for him and for his protection. He told me that his cousin may go along with him, so they would each other’s backs. It was important to him that I let him go, and so I did.
I hung up the phone and bowed my head for an extra hedge of protection around my son. I prayed for his health and his well-being and for wisdom. I prayed for success for his project and for blessings over him and his cousin and his friends. I prayed for a safe trip home and I thanked God for giving me such a wonderful son.
