You know, it isn't as hard without both girls as it is without one of them. It breaks my heart that they aren't together experiencing all the good and bad that siblings share. They have no idea what they're missing!<BR/><Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886063555963722894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26758856.post-1147995613374300642006-05-18T18:40:00.000-05:002006-05-18T18:40:00.000-05:00Here is yet another reason why I'm weird.

This may be just what both girls need to open their eyes that you truly love them and want the best for them. If you can, while you're missing them and worrying over them while they're away from you, use this time to bathe them in prayer and enjoy this time with Diane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26758856.post-1147993122194156912006-05-18T17:58:00.000-05:002006-05-18T17:58:00.000-05:00Hi Brenda,First of all let me tell you I think you...Hi Brenda,<BR/><BR/>First of all let me tell you I think your mother is brilliant. Wash the car in the rain. Saves even more water if you consider it your bath too.<BR/><BR/>I honestly believe teenagers, all of them, become unbearable just before they're about to fly away. You still miss them like crazy but it makes it just a touch easier to let them go.

My day is coming, I'm sure, but for now I'm up to my ears in teenagers.

She's doing her best to "prepare" me for it!<BR/>I wish your daughter the best. I know you're proud of her and very blessed to have such a great relationship with her.

I wonder the same things. After my brother, Jerry died, I consciously decided to slow down, not hurry over stupid things. That includes grocery lines and driving. So good for you - I highly recommend it.<BR/><BR/>And teenagers - I do think God lets them get a bit obnoxious or we'd never let them go.

I really do think that the fussing and arguing over what's best for them is part of the process of weaning yourself away from each other. For us Moms, it's giving up our job of making the decisions for them, and for them, it's becoming their own master and having toDiane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.com
