Summer time.. and the living's easy. I wish. Right now... this is me... Except I am the pint sized worry wart clinging on to my perception of lost control. When my children aren't in my care I feel like life is spiraling in a chaotic mess. I've always known and have been responsible for what they eat, when they sleep, how many kisses they receive throughout the day. Do they know their self worth? Do they wake up in the morning and greet the sun with a smile? Are they scared? Did they brush their teeth? Is that movie going to give them nightmares? But, I'm the one who comforts them and kisses their boo boos, I lay down with them when they can't sleep.... Oh, my heart hurts.....
But wait,,,,, My children... my life.. are growing. Summer adventure is essential in a well rounded childhood and yes, that means... mom isn't there. This is so foreign and weird for me. I need to trust that all I have taught them in their 15,13 and 10 years on Earth will be stored in their hearts and that they still feel my hugs 900 miles away.
I hope their summer is carefree and memorable but I also hope they can't wait to come home to start another wonderful and successful year with Mama! So, let their feet point to the sky this summer with not a care in the world. I hope they have new experiences and their childhood selves are molded for the better. They worked hard this passed year and I know next year will be even more successful. It's time for us all to set worries aside and just have faith... trust.... this summer will be great!
