It is a wonderful journal. Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you finally come to grips with a daughter moving on with her life? I can attest that, although it is painfully difficult having my girl living so far away, the growth and happiness I see in her makes this mommas heart swell. I'm sure you will see this in Ellis also. And, wow, to Hunter, what an incredible hardworking, self sufficient young man he has become. You should feel, as I'm sure you do, so very blessed.Trinahttp://www.teatimewithtrina.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-16422828468986521852014-09-08T20:12:53.090-07:002014-09-08T20:12:53.090-07:00Okay...now I have shed tears.

What a lovelyl post of real life, relationships with children who are now young adults, and all the emotions attached to each new phase we maneuver through. Your words and photos expressing this time and these feelings is beautiful.

At the time I had no idea what this meant, I certainly do now. I feel our children are only on loan to us, to raise and nurture and make ready for the big, wide world, when that time comes. In my case my relationship with my adult sons is still strong but on another level as they have live in other cities .Each change in our parenting lives causes reflection as you are doing now, a new tomorrow is dawning my dear.Jill Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393826705818799236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-13835278058948925982014-09-05T20:58:25.664-07:002014-09-05T20:58:25.664-07:00Going through the same situation/emotions.

I am in a similar season and have experienced similar emotions and thoughts. Motherhood is forever. I remain home providing sanctuary for them to return to and rest and just be. My two oldest are on their own while the two youngest remain home while attending community college and working. They are very independent and cook a lot of there own meals, do their laundry etc but they still like that I am here mostly to listen. Do you find yourself listening a lot? I do. Well dear it was a joy to walk beside you in this post. AND I am so happy to see you on Instagram. xxoSeawashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299816851144887705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-80931312421862727822014-09-05T08:20:25.754-07:002014-09-05T08:20:25.754-07:00My dear India … so very delighted with your visit ...My dear India … so very delighted with your visit from my beloved Scotland!

Beautiful photos, yet your forthrightness is ...Wow. Beautiful photos, yet your forthrightness is what is admirable. The sense of abandonment when Ellis went to College, is the sting you feel as you indicate irritability at the impending future departure anticipated. The interesting thing is.. the second time is never as painful as the first. When the heart heals, it does so with thicker skin. There is no fear of the same pain reoccurring necessary. It will not be as painful. In all, it is simple re-triggering early loss of one held dear, which is at the core.. what needs to be healed. It has nothing at all really, to do with Ellis, but the loss of the dearest young lady in your early years. So please, enjoy your daughter, for when she walks out the door, she may breathe a sigh of relief only she only she can hear.. the reverberations of which will echo in resonating circles bigger and bigger throughout years. And of course as has always been, Hunter and Ellis both .. are such amazing young people you've had the privilege to rear! Well done, and parenting is never done. It just changes, as you say. -DeniseDenise Pagettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-88438355740666665382014-09-04T17:15:57.054-07:002014-09-04T17:15:57.054-07:00I love this post...how I would love to go apple pi...I love this post...how I would love to go apple picking! Looks like a wonderful tradition for the family. I have 22,26,28 year old children...two married. I think it is really a difficult time of parenting, because there are so many boundaries I must be aware of and careful not to cross. I love them as adults, but must allow them to be adults. It is a fine line at times and a learning process for both my husband and me.Pam @ over50feeling40https://www.blogger.com/profile/15271159201006142602noreply@blogger.com
