When’s the last time you told someone you were proud of them?
When’s the last time you said that to an entire generation?
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. Back in April, having just spent time with my then-21 year-old son, I wrote a song expressing both my regret at leaving him a world with so many problems to deal with in his adulthood, and my pride in his ability to do just that.
Yes, I said April. And it’s now August. But hey, I finally got that song recorded. So today’s post is going to be the words of my song, “Launched.” I couldn’t say it any better in prose.
Here’s your chance to share your own pride in the 20-somethings in your life. Tell me about them! Then go tell them how proud you are.

This is lovely. And I now know your voice, singing out clear. My eyes are just a bit moist right now, too.
Thanks, SJ! That’ll be you in about 10 years…
Yes, it will. I am weeks away from being the mom of a teen. He’s only an inch or two shorter than I am (and I’m fairly tall). His face has really matured in the last month or two – and I remain amazed by him. He’s silly and sensitive and deep and decent.
Can’t wait to see what he’s becoming! =D
