As a teacher, I know kids learn more from our actions than our words ... and it seems to me you "walk your talk" with clarity and genuineness. I suspect you’ll both be fine no matter what.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-17626223637242010762008-02-17T21:03:00.000-08:002008-02-17T21:03:00.000-08:00I very much agree with what ER stated.

I am grateful that she feels she can talk with me about anything and everything, but sometimes, I must admit, it is hard to hear her truths. It blows me away because it feels as though she was 3 years old just yesterday! Time DOES fly. We have college visits coming up over the next several months; I am thrilled for her and applaud her talents and abilities ... but it's hard to imagine her not physically being part on my every day. OK, she's only a junior, so I have time to relax. But still ...The Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290191765817150140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-2446118683943608692008-02-17T08:34:00.000-08:002008-02-17T08:34:00.000-08:00azure--see what you will, but for me, right now, t...azure--see what you will, but for me, right now, this feels like a very natural process of learning to let go.<BR/><BR/>SS--yes, Lord help ALL the parents, at whatever stage of life they are.<BR/><BR/>ER--thank you for your words. i so agree! the one i write of here is also 15. it's funny that you mention "the bits" you see coming through. those are the ones i trust, too. they are familiar.<BR/><BR/>trust. pray. worry. pray. yep, that about sums it up!Kayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-35146302036475569062008-02-17T08:04:00.000-08:002008-02-17T08:04:00.000-08:00Being a parent seems to get harder as they get old...Being a parent seems to get harder as they get older - probably because we can't stay in control of their environment.<BR/><BR/>For our 15 year old, I reckon that I can trust the bits where I see her mother and I coming through; for the rest we just have to trust in God... and pray... and worry... and pray more...Les (Endlessly Restless)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00973835208897357154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-91946557628384652152008-02-16T22:26:00.000-08:002008-02-16T22:26:00.000-08:00Letting them fall breaks our hearts....some times ...Letting them fall breaks our hearts....some times there is no other way.
