Even though this is really hard on you, I love the way you have of making it a humorous read, too. Still, I'm hugging you tight in my heart. Go out and spend some money and do something FUN!

You had me smiling, and yet nostalgic. Should I tell you now that things will get a little better? Uh, but then they marry and have kids, and then you have all of them to worry about. Our 2 kids have added 2 spouses and 6 children, so that makes 10! You will do a lot of praying! Blessings to you.

Funny because I remember those feelings all too well, and you expressed them so fabulously. It's amazing how our imaginations can run away with us when our children are venturing out without us. We know, in our heads, that it would be unhealthy for a child to not want to venture from home, but in our hearts, we wish it wasn't true. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930450728974350296.post-17771835627372432052009-06-20T03:36:42.830-05:002009-06-20T03:36:42.830-05:00I'm so glad no one is around me when I read yo...I'm so glad no one is around me when I read your blog...they will have me committed for laughing hysterically! <br />You always seem to make a major life event funny...that's such an awesome quality you have.

Every word you wrote echoed in my head...Lou Cinda,<br /><br />Every word you wrote echoed in my head because I went through all of those emotions myself (and still do). I think we almost become irrational and so I learned what you did, I put the worry out of my mind. And I am getting a little better at it. But I see disaster everywhere and I give my kids so many reminders and warnings so repetatively, that I think most of it has sunk in!!<br /><br />I am trying to let go. At least I am going to look like I am letting go because I don't want them to think I am a weak little baby. I am strong, level headed Mom, always there in a crisis, handling things smoothly. But in my heart and probably alone in my room, I will be crying, at least until I get used to it.<br /><br />A beautifully written post that so many of us can identify with. I wish you inner peace and I wish Seth a great time and safe trip home...<br /><br />xoxo<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930450728974350296.post-64081445932469316432009-06-19T21:08:44.394-05:002009-06-19T21:08:44.394-05:00Lou Cinda, my oldest melonhead is 37 and I still w...Lou Cinda, my oldest melonhead is 37 and I still worry about him. He's taken his family to Florida on vacation and I worried the whole time they were on the road. Now I am worrying about sharks, jellyfish, etc. and don't even get me started on Jenn!

Letting go of him was just as hard, if not harder than letting go of my children. I would give you a hankie and a hug if I could. <br /><br />I keep an apron on most of the time, but it dosen't stay tied too tight. Good luck with the extra strength binding tape... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930450728974350296.post-45540874273045144612009-06-19T09:45:57.561-05:002009-06-19T09:45:57.561-05:00awwwwwww Lou Cinda, I know it is hard.
