Letting Go…
January 7, 2008
First comes the day when we find out we are going to become a Parent, a day that is filled with happiness and fear.
Second is the day our child is born, a day filled with love and thankfulness.
Third is the day our child crawls, this day is filled with concern and joy.
Fourth is the day our child walks, this day is filled with patience and pride.
Fifth is the day our child starts school, this day is filled with hopes and dreams.
Sixth is the day our child has their first date, this day is filled with faith and trust.
Seventh is the day our child gets their driver’s permit, this day is filled with panic and relief.
Eighth is the day Mom realizes her little girl is growing up……
As my oldest Daughter and I were practicing for her upcoming driver’s test it all hit me…I need to begin to let go. I have watched over her, I have shown her the right ways and the wrong ways, I have held her head high when she could not, I have protected her from the evils of the world, I have taught her love, happiness, respect, loyalty and responsibility.
Knowing she has the tools she needs to begin her life, I should feel comfortable letting her spread her wings. The Mom in me is trying to let go but it just isn’t easy. After 17 years of being there I need to start trusting what my Daughter has been taught and give her the space to spread her wings. As hard as this may be, it is time. I have to say this is the hardest part of being a Parent I have gone through so far.
I keep telling myself….This isn’t the end of my Parenting her, this is just a new beginning. I have so much more to look forward to in her life.
In March she will be turning 18 years old, I am sure this day will be filled with a new found freedom for my Daughter.
In June she will be graduating High School, I am sure this day my Daughter and I will be sharing the feelings of happiness and fear, love and thankfulness, concern and joy, patience and pride, hopes and dreams, faith and trust, panic and relief, a sense of loss and a sense of new found freedom. And a state of depression for me.
I would add the day she moves out but we all know that day will never come….ok so I am not ready to let go that much yet
