Well, this is my very first attempt at blogging. So for all you veteran bloggers, please bear with me. Nothing fancy, no pics for now; just a few thoughts coming from my head.
After reading my 26 year old son's blog I decided it would be fun to try it myself. So here goes.
I have three beautiful adult children, two sons and a daughter. My husband and I came home a little while ago from picking up my 20 year old daughter from the airport. You see, she just checked out a college in another state some 1000 miles away . Now I know she's always been independant and head strong; and once she decides something she does not waver. But I am already feeling mother anxst. After all, she is my youngest. Going out into the big bad world to a large city far far away I'm sure is totally exciting for her yet very daunting for me, her MOTHER. But I'm trying not to think too far into the future because it will only increase my anxiety about the whole situation. You moms out there with adult kids well know the feeling of having to let go .....watching them, hoping for them, and praying for them from the sidelines. You breath a sigh of relief for a short tiime and try to prepare for the next phase or hurdle. I could go on about that right now; but I won't.....at least for now. Which reminds me of the song from "Fiddler On the Roof." Sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the years. One season following another, laden with happiness and tears. I know this is sappy, but hey...........
