Our two daughters are both married and each of them have three children of their own--just like we do. Sigh. The years go by quickly, but I'm glad we had those years with our basic five at home. <br /><br />No, times weren't always perfect, but they are often wonderful. They, our kids, and we all have gone through growing pains. Sigh. And as Bryan Norford intimidated in his blog above, we go through learning pains too, because band-aids don't solve problems any more. Nor do simplistic/formula answers. But thankfully we learn in and through love and we have a wonderful teacher in Christ our Lord. We can and do point to him. Praise! Thanks for sharing your loving story. May God bless you in your sacred space for writing, Loretta.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-58289312442524047552014-09-17T15:43:59.520-07:002014-09-17T15:43:59.520-07:00Loretta,

All three of mine have recently left as well so I can relate to your post. May God continue to help you find balance and JOY in that balance.

Also, one of these days we WILL get together since we live so close.

I'm okay with that. I can let my sad moments be with me even as I let joy join the party.<br /><br />And, if I'm reading aright, you are wonderfully okay too. Okay with crying for homesickness, even as you rub your hands with glee at what is destined to become your new writing space.<br /><br />I'm so glad you shared this with us.<br /><br />Many blessings....<br />Brenda<br />Blog Moderator<br /><br /><br /> Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.com
