It is a painful process...I just keep saying "roots and wings", "roots and wings" to myself about a hundred times a day. :) It's an honor to love them and have them in our daily lives...what a gift it is. Even on the difficult days! I had a friend who passed away when her two boys were in 4th grade and 2nd grade. So, feeling that deep loss (kind of) up close has always helped me keep perspective. It's the generous, right thing to let them go and test out their independence. And, I have to say, although it's torture having them gone...seeing them fly and what they do with that independence is truly beautiful!! Thanks again for taking the time to comment! ~Bethbforakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988080828770906296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5593077968337944461.post-91375767331691706682013-12-15T08:55:30.239-08:002013-12-15T08:55:30.239-08:00Putting it into such concrete terms really makes i...Putting it into such concrete terms really makes it hit home...I think about all the minutes I've had with my children, and the painful process of watching them grow up and away from my arms...thank you.Jennifer Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114021307777091105noreply@blogger.com
