Jon, you're still wanting your own batch of pretzels, huh? Found out they're not nearly as good the next day. Bummer. But if you're ever out this way I promise I'll make some for you.

Well, no, I didn't spell everything out for him before because I wanted him to take some initiative. I still feel like if I give him a checklist that's all he's going to do, the bare minimum. I want to know that he's really invested in the process. But then I set myself up for disappointment because he doesn't do anything. As my best friend said he needs to try to get an 'A' for effort, even if that's just asking me what I want/need. It's hard to find the balance.

And I am giving him a hug every day when he leaves.


If you love somebody, set them free.
