Don't Grow Up Too Soon

As I was nursing Finwe today my mind wandered aimlessly. Suddenly my thoughts cleared. I saw me standing brushing my hair, and then my son all grown behind me.

I was disturbed by this for many reasons. The first is that I don't want to rush any of my children through childhood. Another reason is that I never had this type of daydream about my daughters. I've never envisioned them grown. What is the difference?

Auntie J? Help? Did you have this type of thing with Good4Water?

For one thing remember I told you this boy would bring you a different form of love and a protective relationship than your other children. He is also your baby and likely always will be.

I always prayed while good4water was growing up, because he seemed to need more nuturing, that I would live to see him grown. I cannot remember a vision like you had but perhaps it means you will see our youngest family member past his teens and beyond.
