I am a control freak.
Do you know how hard it is to say that sentence? My mom has recently been facing her control issues, and now I am having to realize that I am more like her than I ever thought (or wanted to be). So anyway, this month's (probably year's, actually) key words are "letting go". I think I need to let Tom heal at his own pace instead of trying to rush him along. I need to be there for him, but let him and God worry about how and when he heals. I would probably appreciate him a lot more if I didn't feel so responsible for him, too. And feeling responsible for things I have no control over is not helping me at all, not to mention is very stressful.
