Difficult Decision

Through out my life I have made many difficult decisions, but that is all in the past. In the present I make difficult decisions every day, and maybe the most difficult. Every day make the decision to allow my son to grow up a little more each day. A large piece of my heart and body want to cradle him in my arms and protect him from every little thing that might hurt him. I want him to stay Innocent forever so he may never know hate, sadness, shame or any other challenge life presents. The other part of me knows that if I never let him learn by skinning a knee, getting his feelings hurt or learning a new bad word he will never make it through life and will only have me to blame for his sadness. Difficult decisions present themselves to all of us on a daily basis and there will never be just one. In the end the only thing that matters is weather or not we made the right decision.
