The above picture is of DQ, Spike the dog, and my niece (we'll call her AJ). Well, I got a call from my sister this morning. AJ sent them on quite a little adventure last night! AJ is DQ's age (AJ is exactly 3 months older that DQ), and she lives in SD. Last night they had to call the police because AJ did a little disappearing act on them! As I listened to my sister tell the story I began to get chills. What? Did you find her? Is she ok? What happened?
Well AJ is fine, just exerting her independence a little too much. Whew! AJ, you ever scare me like that again and I'll come up there myself! (just kidding sweetie, I love you!)
I've been thinking about this. When our children go off on their own how do we know that they are alright? When is it safe to let go? My mother still worries, so I guess never. Being a mom never ends. It's always a 24/7 job no matter how big your babies get. I tell BB and DQ that all the time: you'll always be my baby, no matter how big or old you get. They just roll their eyes and say moooom! Stop embarrassing me!
Guess what? I'll never stop!
