Dear Creator,

As my boy becomes a man,
help me to curb my instinct to protect
and give me the strength to allow him
to wear his wounds with dignity and pride.
And while I learn to back off, just a bit,
Could you please assign an extra guardian angel or two.
Amen

two separate mishaps ( on that side, theres another gouge on his right cheek)
scrape on cheek, fell into a tree while running through the woods, scrap around neck, hit a branch while quading.
