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..ππ
However yes, we did have our children, brought them up, but donβt own them. They are individuals in their own right.. with their own journeys, triumphs and defeats, trials and tribulations and learnings Ofcourse.
Such a lovely poem of wildflowers we have been blessed with this spring πand thoughts on our children growing up and we growing with them really resonate with me. Love your posts Reena alwaysβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
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 βThey chose to be where they are and Iβm happy to host them.β
Aww π₯° beautiful and so true. Sometimes when sheβs talking to me as the young lady she is, all I see is the baby face. It turns me to mush ofc, and doesnβt help, but what to do :-)
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 weβre getting better with practice. π€π 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 π

Aww thank you Karin! So lovely to hear from you and your words. Your garden is always gorgeous! β€οΈ
I miss my two kids at every age they've been so there are 47 versions of them in my soul.
