I reminded myself often as the kids were spreading their wings that I would NOT want it to be any other way. I also tell myself that I alone and in and of myself would make for my children/grandchildren a very small world. This allows me to share them more cheerfully. It's all good! Glad that you had another opportunity to feel needed...they'll be more. Why just last weekend, my son called asking my to take care of the pug. ;>Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696888066087897864.post-51877492597915962732009-04-18T08:33:00.000-04:002009-04-18T08:33:00.000-04:00I understand this, Becky. The seasons of motherhoo...I understand this, Becky. The seasons of motherhood are a varied many and there's a thin line that crosses into each one. There's also those muddy areas where you phase from one to the next then morph into the one from a few seasons ago. That's how I see it anyhow. :o)<br /><br />Lizzie's preparation for this last trip (spring break) to SD showed me that she's an adult in that she indeed didn't need me to do an overview of her clothing, reminding her employer of her vacation, to be sure to bring her books to study, when to be at the airport, etc. Nope. I wasn't needed and I have to admit that it hurt just a little bit. Well, she called from the airport after her first leg of the journey .. concerned that she couldn't find the next gate and **would I please help her**. Oh Yes! While talking with her I quickly got online and figured out the info she needed - seemed she had forgotten she was to switch airlines at that point. She thanked me over and again. I was needed. For that moment - needed. :o)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />jAne<br />http://tickleberryfarm.blogspot.comsherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869744622519612793noreply@blogger.com
