Loved the poem Ofcourse and yes, totally agree. Accept the mature being your little baby has grown into, but let me tell you..the older version will also need to be babied at times..😂😂

However yes, we did have our children, brought them up, but don’t own them. They are individuals in their own right.. with their own journeys, triumphs and defeats, trials and tribulations and learnings Ofcourse.

Loved the poem. I have the same volunteer situation in my garden. With the rain this year, all kinds of new things came up. I always say “They chose to be where they are and I’m happy to host them.”

I miss my two kids at every age they've been so there are 47 versions of them in my soul.

My older son graduated from college a couple years ago and my husband and I had to learn quickly to let go of some old expectations. I think we’re getting better with practice. 🤞😀 I liked the garden metaphor.

Congratulations on the graduation of your daughter, Reena! My daughter is half done with high school, and it seems only like yesterday her graduation from kindergarten 😭
