Why?

Why do children have to grow up? Why can’t they stay small? Don’t they know their Mamas need them? Where is it written that children have to grow up and move out on their own? Could someone please show me where it’s written?

My beautiful, wonderful, loving, adorable children have been on their own for many years already. That doesn’t mean I have to like it!! I know I do not like the empty nest syndrome. That stinks!!

I did not write the following post. It sure did hit home, though.

“It’s not a death. And it’s not a tragedy. But it’s not nothing, either…”
