Em, this touched my heartstrings too. It echoes one of my regrets - that I didn't find myself until after they were grown. Luckily Logan gets to grow up knowing "me". I printed this to keep. Thank you.
Beautifully written! I'm in the process right now of discovering exactly who I want to be. Next year all of my babes are in full time school, which is my chance to jump and figure things out. It's not so easy. I'm so used to being in young kid mode and I have loved it. I really have. And i wouldn;t trade it for anything. It's weird knowing that I'm at that next stage of life where my oldest is a teenager and I will be alone for most of the day. What to do?!?
Well, it's too late for me. They are grown and gone, but I love who they have become. As for me, I'm still growing, changing, and trying to be better. Hopefully as adults my children will forgive me my weaknesses and celebrated my improvements alongside of me. Truly, they grow up way too fast.
