To the amazement of those who know me the best, it was the most difficult and rewarding, beneficial and challenging, and expressions of love I've given and received in my lifetime.
There is something beautiful about our children growing up. If we've done our job in raising them correctly, there will be bumps, bruises, and nervous moments as our kiddos head off to their lives as adults BUT with a proper foundation, trusting them to God, and having faith they will practice all they've learned...it will be good.
The song "Letting Go" by Suzy Bogguss has always brought a tear to my eyes but as I listen after this year of growth...it's time to share the hope and encouragement for the Mom's facing what I faced a year ago.
