As a mom, it's exciting to watch your kids grow and develop, but at the same time it's hard because time is moving so quickly and you can't stop it!<br /><br />Even if your boys flinch, always give them hugs and kisses.tainterturtleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307790480251741661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-13415807537386433192010-05-17T22:59:00.772-05:002010-05-17T22:59:00.772-05:00Oh, friend.

You just keep walking along.<br />You prepare yourself and what if anything is right here, is that they also have time to prepare.<br /> You know.... some people die forever lol Miracles do happen cause they never do, so you worry for nothing.Best is just to take one day at a time and smile every new day cause that's one more day for you. And when God calls someone home,its because the job is done.They are going on vacation and you will see them again later.<br /><br />When I look back and see how many of my friends are gone starting from grade 7. Nice kids and people, students, with everything to look forward to, I think I am blessed to have had more time and with the people who are close to me.But it doesn't end here, on this earth. There's a lot more to come :)<br />Take care Westra :)A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-30125455104628045212010-05-17T16:39:02.585-05:002010-05-17T16:39:02.585-05:00Kass, "tender ache" is exactly what it i...Kass, "tender ache" is exactly what it is. Thanks for your sweet words :)<br /><br />Jen, yes, its better not feeling like you are doing things alone... not so insurmountable.<br /><br />Karen, so true. It starts to feel overwhelming and like it should all be done now... but a step at a time is the only way.<br /><br />Jackie, there are so many of us going through this transition right now :) I am growing rather used to that lump in my throat all the time.<br /><br />Susan, you have such a way with your wise words always, so true.<br /><br />Robynn, I know you have it in you sweet friend... I am just fortunate not to have had the experience that you did growing up...

I'm sorry these decisions have to be made and so much has to be altered - for them and for you. Leaving the family homestead changes the dynamic for everyone. But you have such a sweet spirit, Vicky, and if anyone can help them transition, it would be you. I wish I had a tenth of your giftedness.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />RobynnRobynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-6311889027259592382010-05-17T14:59:19.861-05:002010-05-17T14:59:19.861-05:00The smile at the beginning fades at the ending ......The smile at the beginning fades at the ending ...S.
