Highlans i understand completly. You lay awake, and wonder if he is ok, and will finally fall asleep when you hear the key open the door, and know hes home safe.
Both my husband, and i lay awake when our son goes out night-fishing with friends, we take our cell phones, and landline phone, and keep them on the side table next to the bed, waiting for one of them to ring lol - during the night my husband phones him a couple of times to ask him if "hes had a bait" but i know better lol - before he hangs up, he will tell him "if there is anything, U CALL" It's hard to let go, i try not to show him, but i am clear to him of my worries. I have seen too many accidents happen, few friends, with kids hes age, it's just something that will never wipe off my mind.

And I am waiting for my 18 year old son to feel well enough to get his license and get out there. We all seem to worry over our kids no matter what they are doing. I look forward to worrying over him being out. So remind me that I said that when it happens! lol

My son is 16. I am probably going to let him start the process of getting his license in January. I am not ready for him to drive but I may need him to while I am going through treatments and especially after the surgery. There was a 17 year old girl in his school killed in a car wreck last week. I really hate when they grow up and we have to let go.

I am sure it will always mean a lot to him, that he was able to act as an adult and drive you to and from your treatments.

My father went back and forth with letting us help and needing to handle it on his own. I can relate to that - these days I have to accept any help that's offered but it almost always feels a bit off. I am so grateful for all that I am given.

I don't think we'll ever stop worrying. My 31 year old neice lives about 2 hours away and my brother still makes her call before she comes home and after she arrives back to her house. I guess in some way...they will always be our babies.
