Ok so after all of my ranting, life has returned to the way it should be. :) My daughter's relationship with her boyfriend has been restored and we are a family again. Just like that - no crazy talking it to death. Back to normal. I guess as an over-thinking adult I don't understand how it feels to be young. haha.
Also, after a year and a half of bad news and delays, my house is selling. Just like that. No big fanfare, just moving through the steps, finally, and it feels weird. We're buying a house that is being built and its going to just fit our family. I've been trying to declutter and pack in an organized way.
Life is flying by and every holiday is a fresh reminder. Yesterday at the family get-togethers the kids that used to be running around playing were with their girlfriends/boyfriends on the sofa watching movies. It happens folks, when you turn your head your kids grow up. Now planning their own weddings, instead of their next birthday party. And we aren't looking any younger, or our parents.
It's easy to let these feelings consume me. I have to constantly be fighting against them, reminding myself to enjoy each moment and day. I want to age with quiet dignity and no fear of the future. We only get one trip through and I don't want to have any regrets.
Proverbs 31:25
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.
