You ...Oh Annita, I truly feel what you are saying! You are not sharing too much at all. I will be 47 this year and there is definitely a shift in my outlook on life. There are many changes that go on in the forties but this is a new (and big) one for me. Where I am now is definitely a very reflective place to be, to say the least! Trying to hold on and let go at the same time is enough to keep me on my knees, if it doesn't drive me batty first;-) {hugs} and blessings to you, dear sister in Christ!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07679337171422593785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610953973028158826.post-5297826907510853762013-01-21T16:22:33.808-08:002013-01-21T16:22:33.808-08:00Once again, you have brought tears to my eyes! ;) ...Once again, you have brought tears to my eyes! ;) My youngest is four... my oldest, twenty-five... this is the longest since my husband and I married, that I have gone without being pregnant (seven living children, six miscarried already with our Lord), and I am trying desperately to cherish every moment of this little one's life! I cherish all of my kids, of course... absolutely... but there is something about knowing that she is the last. A tremendous amount of joy in the gift that she is, but there is a sadness that I am struggling with. Her siblings are feeling it as well... they, too, miss having a baby in the house. <br /><br />Sharing too much! Thank you, Tiffany, for being able to put into words so often how I am feeling! God bless...Mom2Sevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556390705963609169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610953973028158826.post-40699221277856797292013-01-21T15:50:15.178-08:002013-01-21T15:50:15.178-08:00I'm with you, Ann-Marie....I'm really tryi...I'm with you, Ann-Marie....I'm really trying to enjoy as much as possible!

Time really does pass to quickly these days and it is hitting me hard this past year as my oldest rounds the corner to ELEVEN!! How the heck did that happen??? Seems like just yesterday he was in my tummy. We all need to slow the pace down a bit like you did and just ENJOY our little ones as much as possible. The world and the busy pace can just wait.AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524341577985354422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610953973028158826.post-42239962177303553552013-01-21T12:48:44.761-08:002013-01-21T12:48:44.761-08:00That's one of our favorite areas to hang aroun...That's one of our favorite areas to hang around! While we do occasionally enjoy an adventure in the city, we always look across the bridge and wonder why all those people are huddle over there when there is so much beauty to enjoy on the other side- and it is rarely crowded! Beautiful pictures and so glad that you got time with your college boy!

I'm saying a little prayer for you today; I know it must be difficult to say another good bye (or rather until later) your son, Our Lady is wrapping your in her arms.
