This is what life is about...the day to day living...the fun as well as the hard times.
The hardest thing that is ever required of a mother is to let go, but then we are blessed when they come back. And when they do they, they come back more mature. They come back not as just our children but rather as our children who now who are also our friends. Sometimes we find ourselves at a loss to understand how we will survive it. That is when we need to focus on the lovely give and take of being a family. Then we realize that we are happy that we did "marry it" and that we did "give birth to it."

Then is when we know that,
amongst the moments of challenge, stress,
excitement, happiness, joy, chaos, and so much more...
WE ARE BLESSED!

So true and can only come from a mother!Sometimes we think the difficult times will never pass, but they do!
They do pass...but sometimes I feel that it was not so bad when you could say...WEAR YOUR RED SHIRT...SIT DOWN!...PLEASE TAKE OUT THE TRASH...and for the most part they did it. Now they are adults sometimes you have to watch helplessly as they make choices you think are not the best. Ah, but at least they are your friends for the mowt part.
Yes, I feel blessed, even when I am neck deep in the trenches - as only a mother can!
