I was talking to my mom on the phone this morning and I told her DD was playing soccer this summer because I wasn't on the ball enough to sign her up for t-ball in time.  T-ball is really what DD would rather do this summer and I feel aweful.  My mom responded by telling me she still feels aweful about the summer she messed up our camp registrations and we didn't get to go that year.  I laughed and told her I have a ton of memories about great summers at camp but I have zero recollection of ever missing a year.  As far as I'm concerned, I went to camp every summer that I wanted to.  I told my mom that I'm 39 years old and it's time she let the guilt over that one go because my childhood was great.

I'm not sure what it is, but I'm certain there is a lesson in this story somewhere regarding all the guilt you've been feeling over Preston lately.  I'm pretty sure you are agonizing over things he will have no recollection of.  Give yourself a break!

I know you are right. Thank you so much for posting and sharing your story. It's funny. I just met with a friend this morning (it was a playdate for P) and she commented on how calm and collected I am. Ha, then I do this once I'm home.
