"Should I go mom? I really don't want to go, now. Maybe I should go with you instead."
"It's up to you Jayme. Just because you paid the money and you made a commitment, doesn't mean you have to go. You can always change your mind. You don't even have to give an excuse. Your face is hurting. Your extraction may be getting infected. That could be your excuse. Do what you want to do."
When Jayme realized he didn't HAVE TO go, he decided he WANTED to go.
When I realized I didn't Need you, I decided I wanted you!
A phone call days later:
"I'm having a great time, mom. I'm having the best experience of my entire life. I will tell you all about it when I get home. I don't want you to judge me, mom. I'll tell you all about it when I get home."
Soon after Jayme arrives home, he waits for a private moment and he waits until he has my complete undivided attention.
"Mom, I have something to tell you. Please don't go into a rant. I don't want you to go into one of your rants, not now, please. I have something important to tell you. It's very important to me. Something very important happened to me this past week. You promise not go into one your rants? This is really very important to me."
I promise.
"Mom . . . I found God."
