I have noticed a trend when people discover I have all boys. People often tell me that boys are easy. They tell me how easy it is to raise boys in comparison to girls. Girls, they say, you have to teach so much nowadays and you don’t have to worry about all that with boys. The first time I heard this, I remember thinking, “if this is easy, I would hate to see what hard is.” However, time has gone by and I’ve come to realize what they actually mean by boys “being easy” and girls “being hard.” They don’t mean raising boys is easy; they mean raising girls is scary. Scarier than it is to raise boys.

To My Boys: …”You Will Have Trouble. But Take Heart…”
Dear God,
I’ve been lost in the darkness, and blinded by light;
I’ve stood in your presence, but now you’re no where in sight;
You gave me the strength of thousands, but now I’m losing the fight;
I thought I was winning, I thought I was running your race;
Now I’m so broken, all that I see is disgrace;
I’m tired and weary, can’t keep up this pace;
I listen at night, hoping to hear you call out;
But all I hear is nothing…just nothing, not even a sound;
