Those "developmental stages" that are so well-documented for the first three years NEVER stop. There seem to be "developmental stages" to parenting, too. You have experienced the "wedding" stage and the "grandbaby" stage. I still have those to look forward to.
But sending that last one off to college for the first time is so bittersweet. I have been there, and survived it. She went to a small church-related university where she met her future husband. He shares her devotion to God and has a wonderful family. (They are getting married in 8 weeks.) I just pray for similar blessings for your little girl!
(At least she's got her baby blanket...to keep her warm. ;-))
Incidentally, I always LOVE your comments, and would love to be able to respond to them on e-mail. Would it be possible for you to add an e-mail address to your profile so I could respond to your comments personally?? If you don't know how, I can show you. :-)
Hello, was passing through and thought this was a lovely quote. My girls are young but already I see the need to do it right... just love them sooooo much....
Raising daughters is like mountain climbing....
