[QUOTE="Suz, post: 281267, member: 29"] You know Lisa, so what if you did tell him he couldn't make it? When he was 16, 17, or 18 he probably couldn't. Travis is 23 now and has different skill sets than he did as a teenager and at 30 he'll have even more. I think I'd approach this as "look at how far you've come" and accentuate the positive, rather than beat yourself up about what you may or may not have said years ago. Besides, even if you told him a million times that he [I]could[/I] do something, he'll always remember the one time you might have implied that he couldn't. It's the nature of the beast. ;) Suz [/QUOTE]
