Letting go .....

One of my grandsons started kindergarten last week. I got a call from my daughter telling me all about that first morning. Like me, she cried when the school bus came to whisk him away. That same afternoon, a friend of mine stopped by and was crying because her youngest had started college and was now a few hours away from home. From kindergarten to college, it was never easy to "let my kids go". I can remember every heartache in saying those goodbyes. Unfortunately, it never got easier. There are times I would give anything to have my kids young again and living with me. The only thing that helps is knowing how happy they are now as adults and living their own lives. For those of you who haven't had to "let go" yet, I can assure you it won't be easy but you will adapt. We may not like it but we all do.
