7 THINGS A
PARENT CAN SAY
to Empower
THEIR CHILD
by Barbara Abramson
I
f you know me at all, you
know I am incredibly proud
of my son. And if you don’t
know me yet, or very well, know
that I am incredibly proud of my
son. I am proud of the man he has
become. He is thoughtful, insightful,
generous, kind, and a lot of other
wonderful adjectives that makes a
mom’s heart burst with love and, oh
yeah, pride.
He graduated high school, went to
college out of state, and every year
assumed more financial responsibility
to make it easier on us as he got jobs.
First his food, then his utilities, finally
his rent and insurance on his car. He
has since moved three times around
the country, pursuing his career, and
is now enrolled in grad school, paying
his own way. And, he’s happily married,
gifting us with a lovely daughter.
