I like what you said ... "...t...Thanks, Sarah. I like what you said ... "...that door will always be left oopen, waiting for their return". What a struggle it is for parents (I think for mothers, most especially) to learn to let go of their children. We know that it's best for them and yet it feels painful to do it. There's so much fear and uncertainty that go with letting go of our children. The only way to counteract it is to PRAY for them all the time! Have a good week ahead.

I remember that ti...Letting go has never been easy. I remember that time when my eldest daughter told me that she wanted to go home on her own from the province where we originally live before she turned 16 and I let her do it. Since she was the eldest, her siblings took after her. Now all my seven kids know their way home before they even they reaced 16. It was crazy because the minute they leave I will not be fully rested the minute they text telling me they got home safe.<br /><br />Kids'issues grow proportionally as they age.More often I encourage my kids to be independent because I will not be there for them all the time.At the end of the day if things do not work out right, I will always be there to listen and pray that the next time they head out for the door and feel they are old enough to decide for themselves, that the door will always be left open, waiting for their return.sarahhttp://notonmyownanymore.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
