Empty again ...

Our nest became empty again this morning.

Michael has headed back home to Florida. We had a great visit. There were two family reunions, a wedding he attended, good times with friends and a lot of special patio and dinnertime chats.

We already miss him and I know the visits will never be long enough. But we also know that he's where he needs to be at this time. We want what is best for him, not what is best for us...

'Letting go' implies generosity, a talent a good mother needs in abundance. Separation is not loss, it is not cutting yourself off from someone you love. It is giving freedom to the other person to be oneself. Separation is not the end of love - it creates love.'

But I'm not ashamed to say ... I can't wait for Christmas!!

Until later :)
