A couple of weeks ago I saw a video that my childhood friend posted on Instagram.
I immediately began to sob.
I knew I had just one year to go through what she was going through.
It was a video of her son, walking away…into his new school (boarding school). He would be gone till December.
Accompanying the video was a little note; ” Wow, I wasn’t prepared enough for this emotionally. Life truly is in phases. My not so lil Dee Boi๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ. I love you my child and I pray to God Almighty to shield, protect and shape you into greatness”.
Next September I will have to watch my boy walk away too.
God I need you to prepare me.
I can’t do it alone.

You will be prepared as much as you can be
