I love the comment you made about being awed by your child's beauty...

You are amazing. I will say I completely empathize as I remember the exact same feeling over a decade ago. But then I blinked and I dropped my oldest son (17) off at the airport one day in January to send him to study abroad for 6 months. And although there is a lot more time for 'me/ and my interests, I feel like I have a gaping hole in my heart. I knew I would miss him but the sense of loss is much greater than I expected.Gealach Deifiúrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463980815282055468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094877959826559848.post-89357091521105323952012-04-12T22:24:43.917+01:002012-04-12T22:24:43.917+01:00Did not have time but i stopped to read this. beau...Did not have time but i stopped to read this. beautiful. :^) patsyHeARTworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953317888563627979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094877959826559848.post-63874285907924303242012-04-12T13:10:16.091+01:002012-04-12T13:10:16.091+01:00Beautiful, you have summed up parenthood quite nic...Beautiful, you have summed up parenthood quite nicely! :0) I have a girl now 27, son 19, youngest son of 9.

I'm now doing my Masters in parenting coz I'm a Grandparent now! The time goes by so fast, so very fast and suddenly your children are making their own way in the world and part of you wishes like mad that you had them back when they were taking your every moment while your smelly body and ugly toes just went unattended.<br /><br />You are loving it and appreciating it, so continue to do that because, darling, I now have all the time in the world to attend to my wants and needs, and it's all about me once again, like it was before I had children. But part of me remembers every time I was short with my beautiful children.....every time I said 'no, not now, I'm busy' and part of me weeps for that time. <br /><br />My children are now 29 and 31 and they have forgiven all my shortcomings....they say 'you're the best mum in the world' and they mean it. They are parents themselves now and know how very hard it can be....so enjoy it all dear Tam......and we promise not to get smella computers!Kat Lakiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802379573313638344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094877959826559848.post-12639237947074871092012-04-11T23:27:47.400+01:002012-04-11T23:27:47.400+01:00Tam, as a mother of two boys just about the same a...Tam, as a mother of two boys just about the same age apart as your two sons....i so understand this.
