Clai...These fears are why I put mine in pre-school. Claire was only 1 but she was severely allergic to peanuts (still is) and was very clingy. I knew if we didn't both get accustomed to being apart for just a couple of days a week, we'd never make it when kindergarten started! Plus, I had to learn to trust someone else to take care of her other than myself. So, that's how we started...2 days a week at St. Mark's. I'm not going to lie. It was hard at first. But, I'm so glad I did it. Both of my children now have a sense of independence which I am very thankful for and they both have friends that they have known since before they can even remember. Those preschool bonds have been pretty amazing. I actually fell in love with St. Mark's and its teachers. Sometimes you just have to let go and trust that God has this. I used to say to Todd, "Why can't they just stay little?". And, he would reply, "Because then something would be wrong with them." God's plan is for them to grow up an for us to let them go. It's still hard for me...I have less than 2 1/2 years left with my Claire Bear at home and less than 5 1/2 with Tenison. Some days, that's too much for me to bear and I cry and cry. But, I am also thankful that God let them be such a big part of my life and I wouldn't change it. I miss them being little but I am so proud of the kids they are growing up to be. I still worry, of course....just gave them a lecture on the way to school this morning about not going places alone and how Claire needed to be aware of all kinds of situations in college and that Tenison did not need to be that boy who tries to control his girlfriend...all lessons that I worry I haven't given enough. But, that's all I can do: try to teach them...and give them my ever lasting, unconditional love! Just keep going - you'll get through it!

Life is difficult, and our children become their own people with their own minds and opinions and dreams and desires. And that really is as it should be - because God lets us have that for ourselves. And even when we drift, He is always there watching and guiding like the Good Shepherd that He is. Our children are His, only loaned to us to parent and nurture and teach and love and all the wonderful things great moms and dads do - and He loves them much more than we ever could. May you, may we all, find peace to replace and displace worry - you deserve a peaceful heart. You're a beautiful person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05194127722213102805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929128097056699510.post-78986146348500496552015-06-29T08:15:19.120-07:002015-06-29T08:15:19.120-07:00Please come visit!
