Thanks for the support and encouraging words. Courtney and I have been really close so this transition as been tough, but worth it as I see her grow up to be a smart, beautiful, wonderful independent adult.

Thanks for sharing your story and I am so glad that you were able to get the help and support you needed to help you through your tough time. I am happy to hear that Russell has the opportunity to see your perspective through having his own children. And I am glad that he takes the time to tell you thank you. That is so important and rewarding.

Again, it was so great to hear from you.

Bobbie

I don’t have the puter skills to put one of these together, yours was beautifully written. Your first has that little extra part of your heart. When mine (Russell) left home to live with his baseball team members (in ENTERPRISE) I broke my heart. I was awake all nights wondering if he was ok, home, getting enough sleep, keeping his studies up, and eating. I made myself sick and wound up in the hospital. Only my family and closest friends know this. The power of loving a child can also be debilitating. That hospital stay (with counseling) helped ease the pain and to let him go (some). I had “AN ADDICTION” to my children. When he went to Auburn, I couldn’t let him go when it was time to leave. Pitiful to say the least. Our children will only know the love and protection modes we had over them by having children of their own. Russell has two now. He thanks me periodically for the things I didn’t let him do and the shows I didn’t let him watch, etc. You are a wonderful mom and she will appreciate all you’ve done for her (someday). In the meantime, hang in there, letting go does become easier. Looking forward to your next visit home. Bonnie
