My heart is doing flip-flops at the thought of her ever being not here, not with me, yet I know it will happen before I can even take a deep enough breath.<br /><br />Can I join you in leaning back on those beautifully colored pillows that have now become the background of your blog? I will remind you if you will remind me.<br /><br />So much love.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-62036153182398455962011-09-07T10:13:18.467-04:002011-09-07T10:13:18.467-04:00Ms. Moon, joyful if we let it be.

Such wise words.<br /><br />Susan t, you're right. we see their child selves in their growing up selves. they are men and women now, and yet to us they still seem so vulnerable sometimes. still, we have to let them fly, and find their own solutions. we do, we do, but it is harder some days than others.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-64555866867919446762011-09-07T09:58:39.753-04:002011-09-07T09:58:39.753-04:00so true.

We are in full knowledge of how swiftly time has passed and is passing. Try to relax and enjoy it as much as possible. It is all part of the process of doing our job- raising up our children to let them go. Painful but necessary. And joyful, too, if we let it be.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-50103403698062110972011-09-07T09:26:14.236-04:002011-09-07T09:26:14.236-04:00Mark, i notice how my girl's baby face looks a...Mark, i notice how my girl's baby face looks a little like your girl's baby face. something about their intensity.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-89099752363459062822011-09-07T06:31:39.247-04:002011-09-07T06:31:39.247-04:00I love their baby faces!
