It's so hard when you know you have the wisdom and experience to impart, but that the real lessons get passed through skinned-knees.Kim Cunningham https://www.blogger.com/profile/15228475634696692073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222993776725444750.post-74471757813076551192015-09-19T05:24:29.920-04:002015-09-19T05:24:29.920-04:00Oh boy, this is the kind of post that touches my h...Oh boy, this is the kind of post that touches my heart deeply and reminds me how to better navigate being a mom. I hope I'm not too clingy, though I tend to be over sentimental with a high tendency to worry, which I suppose borders closely to clingy? Every year's rentrée feels like another goodbye, which admittedly is still hard. I'm slowly, slowly working on my letting go... (sigh)... the vine metaphor is something I have to remember.

Those growing pains never seem to end, although now in their 30's, my boys seem to be growing less and needing more hugs!! They are all grown up and our love and relationship has taken on a whole new feel, and I must say I love it. My week with Mike was awesome, we had the best talks and the very best hugs. The warm, holding on ones. The ones where you can tell they really mean it!!<br /><br />We are in the car, heading north and it is a most beautiful day!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222993776725444750.post-59866202606145682792015-09-17T22:03:24.617-04:002015-09-17T22:03:24.617-04:00We will never stop being mothers, will we?
