Hi Guys Thankyou for all your lovely comments...
i have been working hard on working out how to manage these side effects
and i think i have a little system WORKING now! So Yey!
Which is fab as i can finally get some chores done around the house now such as... a cook up!
Yes a cook up for my beautiful firstborn as she is off on her first holiday on her own next week (!!!)
Well she is with friends, but this is different to being to being on a supervised school camp or with family as in the past...
So today i have been cooking and freezing food, to help ease the extra organization she has dealing with her food allergies away from home...
Now the next thing i need to be able to do is to ~let her go~ when she leaves tomorrow... With ~Love~ and not fear! ...Geez EVERYTHING about my Life at the moment involves THOSE two little words...
~Letting go~
~Letting go~ is ~Letting Be~ i guess and ~Trusting~ that ~All will Be Well~
With all that is going on here lately... Letting my baby (now 18yrs!) go, is the hardest of all...
It's silly of me i know... She is very mature for her age and more than capable of looking after herself... But this letting go pulls at my Heart Strings... First times are always the worst right... Remind me that it will get easier... Remind me that when she had her first driving lesson i felt the same... When she stayed the night over at a friends house for the first time... When she first started kinder... school... Remind me that i will survive this too... i know she will...
And that ~Angels~ Always watch over her
This i know is True... in my poor 'ol battered Heart
i just need a reminder ~Hug~

How sweet that you have chosen to share your fears at the thought of letting your first born head off without you.
When I think of 'letting go' I always think of the 12 Step Programme and 'Let go and let God' come to mind.
Pleased to hear you have found a way to overcome some of those side effects.
Stay strong...
I am doing the same thing with my first born precious. We can hold each other and pray together. :)))))
I remember how tough it was to let my 18 yr. old leave for university so many years ago. I think I cried all the way home when we dropped her off at her apartment. It went well, though, after a couple of weeks of homesickness on both our parts.
Take good care of yourself...I am always thinking about you!
So happy to hear you are up and cooking! Hopefully journaling and doll making too. I can totally relate to those heartstring pulls. We trust & believe in ourselves and we trust & believe in our children. I am really finding the letting go is beginning to ease a bit, the more trust/belief I have. Love you woman! xoxoxo
Vicki, so wonderful you have posted..... you were missed, my friend!
This is going to be hard - to let a beloved child have her first real taste of "freedom".... worry is natural.... BUT..... remember that there is a lot of YOU in your daughter! You and your DH have raised her to be intelligent and fun-loving. And....I know she (like your other wonderful children) has a deeply-rooted love for her Mum and Dad. She will MISS you too!!! This trip will end up bringing you even closer together.
You are a wise and beautiful Mum!
Love, Strength and Courage to let go....
Always,
♥ Robin ♥
What adventure awaits her return, its not a blog you'll be reading, its an adventure she'll be relating.
A warm swell of hearts to collide with laughter and concern and did you know and wish you could have seen, so I'll do the best to describe without you even asking. I guarantee I'll repeat myself just to make sure if you didn't get my read on it while I told it to you in my excitement I'll pull another little string of my own heart mom to make sure your heart and mine are one and the same.
Heart Strings are always a strong reserve in poetry writing, there's a poem in you Nolly Posh, and I expect it to be Bluesy, but mostly celebratory, because your grand, accomplished and once more your daughters hero. You have something well along to celebrate.
Ohhh, and thank you for the music, whenever I visit, it makes it so easy to create and be thankful for.
Happy to know you are healthier than before. Homeopathic can strengthen the body's will and defenses to help the other pharmaceuticals which ravage and destroy willy nilly methinks at times. My good friend Donny Yance runs a foundation of Homeo's he's created from travelling the world and studying many ancient potions. He is based in the states in Oregon.
Nolly, I don't have children, but I can imagine how hard it would be to see them going off without you, I know she will be fine, and so will you. Breath deep. Love. xoxo
Thankyou for the (((hugs))) folks... and i am sending you Natalie an extra BIG one back (((HUGZZZZZZZZZZZZ))) xox
I just wanted to ask if you were the original owner ofthe picture ofthe heart with the badaid on it,i have started a non-profit organization to bring awareness to child abuse and I named it the Battered Hearts. I was looking for a picture to use through google images and came across this heart and decided to use it and just wanted to ask if you would be ok with this. if you do not own the picture could youd direct me to who the owner is? I do no twant to wrongfully use someone else's material
