Text 21 Mar That’s when you realize you have to grow up.

Sometimes I feel like I did when I first learned to ride a bike without training wheels.  Its the same old story:

“Mom, will you promise to hold onto me the whole time?”

“Yes, I promise not to let go.”

I look back and my mom isn’t holding the bike anymore.  I am riding alone.

Now I feel like this bike is broken in a sense, that my mom is holding the wrong parts of it together.

But today she said, “I’ll hold on.”

And she did.

And I smiled.
