You have spent the last 18 or 19 years preparing her for this day. She will fly...make some mistakes...need to run home again...and then soar again. And that's exactly what you want her to do! You want her to live the biggest life she can live. And when we let them do that, they will always come home again. Enjoy your empty nest, reconnect with your man, and listen for what God has next. The really cool thing is that while you are cheering on her life, she will begin to cheer yours too! Much love to you friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-57263445710789701352014-06-06T04:05:51.966-07:002014-06-06T04:05:51.966-07:00Karrilee, your words are so encouraging to me at t...Karrilee, your words are so encouraging to me at this moment. If all goes well and my daughter passes her final exams she will be going to University. She might be quite far from us... All the things you have described have crossed my mind... Tears, trying to learn that I will have to let go very soon as she is 19 yrs old and she will need to spread her wings as to where He leads her... One thing He has been speaking to my heart all these days is that she is His, not mine. He has plans for her and He will keep her from harm... Blessings to you from Athens, Greece!!!

It sounds like you've done a phenomenal job raising your daughter and she soar from the foundation you and your husband helped build in her. Sending some hugs to your very fragile heart today.

I knew it would be tough, so I found a life coach to work with for the 6 months beforehand. It helped, but still ... had no idea how closely knit our lives were until she was gone! I love your point that you had to shift your thinking from wanting her life to be "safe" to wanting her life to be "His" and to be FULL. I stumbled onto those realizations far later than I wish...but God is good and offers so much grace!Cheri Gregoryhttp://www.cherigregory.comnoreply@blogger.com
