I have four boys, so this post was especially meaningful to me. My oldest are 10, 9,and 8, so thanks for sharing what's potentially coming.

I relate to all those stages, but am closest to the last one, as all mine have flown the nest, save the last and she is perched just on the edge! I'm there with you, sis, and YES YOU CAN do this! We will worry for the rest of their lives, but God is faithful and gives peace and hope.<br /><br />I'm featuring your post next week on Tuesday Talk because I want other moms to read and be encouraged! I'd like to use your sweet graphic up top for the feature too if that's ok. <br /><br />Enjoy your weekend!<br /><br />~Ruthie from http://www.rearreleaseregroup.com/Ruthie Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247671109637087291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-21649920119401351402016-04-02T12:33:08.313-04:002016-04-02T12:33:08.313-04:00Still mothering over here...texted my 31 year old ...Still mothering over here...texted my 31 year old daughter through a bad morning.

Just this weekend I told my husband that I can't bear the thought of our youngest off at college next year, and not getting to see him every day. But I know I'll get through, just like all the other tough parts of parenting.

Whether it's love, being proud, fear, etc. I always say I want time to slow down, but I can't wait to see what big things he does in this world.
