Letting Go

Today I resigned from my secretary position and popcorn kernal for my son's Boy Scout Troop. At the beginning both my husband and I were very involved in the camp outs, food drives and other scouting adventures but that slowly went away. Kyle was first. He resigned from scouting completely, oh, at least a year and a half ago. I have persisted, although each week getting less and less involved. I decided I could be 100% involved in the parent meetings but this to has been taken away.
Isn't it horrible to say that something has been taken away by your own child? Well, in a way it has. We have been advised to let go of our participation once again as parents. And it is so sad. I can't help but sob, for yet, another loss. My mother was my scout leader until I was a junior in high school and she was great! She was also the Director of the Council for 15 years. Scouting is a big deal and I was so excited to get my son involved in such a great organization.
Accepting him for what he is will be better, I hope. I just can't see how not being present for your child is helpful but I will trust those who have traveled this path before. It is all that is left to do...
