I always feel a little melancholy when my children "fly the coop." Sometimes they come and go. Sometimes I don't see them for quite awhile. Sometimes I miss them, but sometimes I enjoy my new found freedom as a mother with grown children.
However it may be, I always feel sad and have to re-group my thoughts and calm my mind when they come for a visit and leave again.
I am so proud of all of my children and their own individual accomplishments. I love them more than I could ever put into words and my greatest accomplishment is being a mother.
This morning as one of my little ones flew off to another destination for a new journey of her own, another one will leave tomorrow, and one left yesterday, and another left awhile ago all to different states, I am once again feeling sad, excited, happy, anxious, nervous and blessed.
As I walked into my cottage this morning the first thing I noticed was this birdcage that I have made. I thought it was appropriate to post about it today as a reminder of my children "flying the coop," and becoming the beautiful adults they are meant to be.
I am blessed!
