I am already sad. I look at my hands while I type this and trust me, I have those "mama hands". You know the ones that look like they have diapered a million times. I have those because I have diapered a million times.
When is it ok to say that your children are grown? Once upon a time I thought I knew the answer to the riddle. I don't. In my opinion you no longer know the answer when they need you the most. When they were little bitty children, they needed me to guide them and teach them. and help them through a scabbed knee. Now that they are older, they need me to soothe a broken heart. Which is more important? I ask you to choose.
I choose neither. I think being a parent lasts forever. How can I possibly say that now they are OK without me? I can't.
How can I move now or ever without my little itty bitty children?

You're preaching to the choir, honey. I've been fighting this fight with Steve since and I got married. When do your children no longer need you?
ReplyDeleteHell, I'd still like to run home to a Momma like one of us.
