Zac is now out having his school camp for one night. This marks his independence as a boy. It’s pretty emotional for me to think that he is slowly spreading his wings to fly and soar above in the sky. Seeing him carrying the huge backpack that’s nearly as big as him conjures up mixed feelings within; proud, happy, anxious, in awe and touched, just looking back on how far Zac has come along.
I believe he is having the time of his life although he was pretty anxious the days and nights leading to camp. Questions kept popping up into his mind - ‘what if I need the toilet at night?’, ‘what if I lose my way?’, ‘wonder who will I sleep with’ and many others. I got a picture this afternoon of him cooking some sausages and giving a huge smile with his current bestie Sam. I felt at ease knowing that he is at least having fun and feeling relaxed and happy.
By now, he should have taken his bath and having a campfire night with plenty of performances by his peers. I suspect he might have difficulty sleeping tonight as always, hoping that I’ll hear a different story when he comes home, since he’s so tired.
I felt the emptiness this afternoon without him in the house. I surprisingly miss him a lot although he has been away before for sleepovers with his friends. This is rather different as it’s more of a ‘maturing’ stage that he is going through to become a fine young man. I miss his voice and his usual antics at home and I will definitely be welcoming him home with big open arms tomorrow.
Have a wonderful time at camp my dearest son. Mummy loves you heaps and I am so proud to have a son like you. Have a good night in camp and I look forward to hearing all your adventures tomorrow.
