Oh, I'm sure that every Mother ...Dearest Renee,<br />Oh, I'm sure that every Mother has these tearful moments. It's one of the many things we Moms have in common. When our "babies" don't look back...we realize that they are moving into a place of new found independence. When my youngest left for Marine Corps Boot Camp in Parris Island, SC I found myself crying at the drop of a hat. One day, I was listening on my car radio to "Focus on the Family" while out running errands. Dr. James Dobson was sharing about the difficult struggle he had when his son went off to college. It was just what the doctor ordered. I realized that I was normal...and, yes, that Dad's struggle, too.<br />Keep your chin up, my dear friend. You are, obviously, doing something right in raising your darling daughter. She is demonstrating a healthy self confidence and zest for life.<br />Keep smiling,<br />Carolynn <br />I'm so glad you're back...I've missed you!Chenille Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431398899341721439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859526203919533287.post-77079417350779626432012-08-09T17:10:41.441-05:002012-08-09T17:10:41.441-05:00My hubby knows if ever Im blue, its off to search ...My hubby knows if ever Im blue, its off to search for treasures! hehe<br /> <br />We totally have one heart my dear! :DSweet Cottage Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585280807777813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859526203919533287.post-32353448243112826772012-08-09T13:46:16.320-05:002012-08-09T13:46:16.320-05:00I remember that day so well, almost embarrassed th...I remember that day so well, almost embarrassed that I had drove him to school, I wish I had estate sales back then I knew about...lol I just went to Target! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956372943613435575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859526203919533287.post-21396968817928803682012-08-09T10:58:01.018-05:002012-08-09T10:58:01.018-05:00Oh those linen books in the large format are my fa...Oh those linen books in the large format are my favorites.
