“It wouldn’t be special if we saw each other more often”? Ugh.

It is after midnight. Christmas is over. Vacation ends tomorrow. Back to the salt mines for me. Back to collegendary for them. Precious time with my young adult children is coming to a close. Wow, I will miss them so much! It is so hard to have the important lovely conversations about relationships, future planning, financial stability, life, God, anxiety, on text and rushed phone calls… My 23-year old son is not a sharer unless we are in person. He lives 9 hours away, so I only see him about every 5 months. It is agony to say goodbye knowing I am heading into darkness again.

How do we let them go? So hard. I know, count my blessings… still tough though!
