I want to stay with you forever
A bedtime conversation with my littlest boy, my little worrier.
Mom, what happens when I have to grow up and move away?
You'll start your own life, maybe you'll go to college, or find a job you like to do.
I don't want to leave you, even when I'm an adult.
Well, by the time you're about 18 you will want to be out on your own. 5 year old boys aren't supposed to want to move away from their moms.... but little boys grow up and change their minds.
I don't even know where I'll live. I don't have a house.
Do I have to build a house or do I just buy one?
Some people build houses but a lot of people buy their houses.
I don't know how to build a house. That would take a long time. Did you buy your house or did you and Dad build it?
We bought our house.
How much did it cost?
A lot.
Did it cost $100?!
A bit more than that.
Did it cost $116?
yeah...it cost $116
Woah...that's a big waste of your money. I don't want to move away. What if Jesus tells me it's time to move out but I don't want to yet?
I guess if Jesus tells you something you'd better listen. If he tells you it's time to do something he'll make you brave too.
Well I just want to stay here with you forever.
{skinny little arms wrapped firmly around my neck}
Ok my boy, you can stay here with me as long as you need to.
Can you snuggle me for a while? {coming from the little by who used to hate to be hugged!}
I'd love to.
.....because too soon you'll be that big 18 year old boy who moves out and builds his own home.
