Middle Boy is having a tough day.  He apologized over and over on the phone tonight for having a bad day and being distracted.  I told him it is okay.  It is okay for people to know you are having a bad day and it is okay to talk about it...especially your family.  I am not going to love him less for having a bad day.  I would much rather know he is having a bad day than have him try to cover it up.  That's what he does.

I know all too well the behavior he is showing me.  In this way he could ABSOLUTELY be my son.

Prayers for being real and trusting enough to know that it is okay.
