And she posted…
“There goes two pieces of my heart…”
I couldn’t help but smile knowing what my new friend was feeling… And yet my heart sank knowing that same feeling of the beginning stages of the empty nest syndrome she would be feel.
As she shared her feelings about two of her three beautiful daughters getting on the bus the first day of school, my own life just flashed me by. Now a grandmother, I wonder where the years went…
As another friend shares her sadness of watching her son go off to college, I feel her pain again knowing that continued feeling of the empty nest syndrome.
Watching your children grow up is all part of life’s cycle… But it doesn’t make it any easier!
I’ve always held on to the saying “Fly Baby Fly” knowing that was my job ultimately as their mom… To teach them to fly! Like the bald eagle who push their baby eaglets out of their nest at just the right time so they learn to fly on their own.
Being a mom is a wonderful, blessed gift to receive… And part of that job is to share your gift with the world! Seeing them “fly baby fly” and knowing you helped them learn to be awesome people is so rewarding…
So to all the moms dealing with their children going off to school this week I say… “You are doing a wonderful job mom, thank you for sharing your precious gifts with the world!”
In Love, Awe and Wonder of our beautiful children…
