Wonderful technology
In general, I prefer -- and am lucky enough to still have the privilege of --
face-to-face communication with my son. But today, after he started middle school and handled his first night of homework, getting organized, etc -- all on just a couple of hours sleep because he was so excited last night, I was grateful for the anonymity and frankness of instant messaging. Henry had gone up to his room to get ready for bed (where he has a laptop) and I was catching up on e-mail. Suddenly an instant message popped up from him: "hi mom" I answered: "Hi sweetie. I'm so proud of you today. I hope you know that." To which I got three quick replies: i do. thanks. i love u. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Off to bed now, once I wipe away a tear or two. -Dawn Mom to Henry, 11 |
