Darlene is in the middle of a nightmare. Please pray for her, and if you don't pray, send some loving energy her way. Same thing.
I just found her blog a few weeks ago. She writes beautifully, her pictures are gorgeous, but what I've been admiring most about her is the relationships she's forged with her adult children.
After reading her, I'd close my eyes and imagine the day mine would be grown. When they wouldn't need me so much. In my fantasy, Riley and Seth would be leaving the nest, and I'd be the proudest mama, encouraging them to fly higher and higher. Kind of like Darlene.
Darlene's son has been in a terrible car accident. She's right in the thick of it. Her child needs her now more than ever, and she is heroically rising to the occassion.
I hug my babies a little tighter tonight and am faced with a truth, known all along but not typically acknowledged. We're never done being their parents.

You got it Michelle- prayers for Darlene and her son!
Thanks for the post.
Michelle,
We have two grown boys ages 26 and 29. Believe me you never stop worring about them. Your babies are always your babies no matter what age. Both are married and we now have 3 grandchildren. So we now have 2 daughter-in-laws and 3 grandchildren to worry about also. When the books say that if you get through the terrible two's you're doing good...no way.
On the bright side you also have more to love and enjoy. Having grandchildren is wonderful.
Thanks for the post and take care.
Yes, you never never never stop worrying about them, they never stop needing you nor you them and big prayers for Darlene and son.
