I think every mother has felt this. When my oldest daughter went away to college I created a little kite shaped book that opened up like an accordion. On the pages I wrote a quotation by Erma Bombeck which is what I felt at the time. I love the beautiful flowers you have used here - and I really like the pink and brown color combination! <br />I see children as kites. You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground. You run with them until you're both breathless...they crash... you add a longer tail... they hit the rooftop... you pluck them out of the spout... you patch and comfort, adjust and teach. You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they'll fly.<br /><br />Finally, they are airborne, but they need more string and you keep letting it out and with each twist of the ball of twine, there is a sadness that goes with the joy because the kite becomes more distant and somehow you know that it won't be long before that beautiful creature will snap the lifeline that bound you together and soar as it was meant to soar... free and alone.<br /><br />Only then do you know that you did your job.Holly Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326066329920202922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727941624982128352.post-19075657230188815502013-09-03T18:42:02.409-07:002013-09-03T18:42:02.409-07:00WOW!!
